Proinflammatory role of amphiregulin, an epidermal growth factor family member whose expression is augmented in rheumatoid arthritis patients-0

B, C) is plotted on the y-axis of each graph. The upper and lower error bars indicate the 90th and 10th percentiles, respectively. The upper and lower edges of each box indicate the 75th and 25th percentiles, respectively, and the line inside the box shows the median. Genes not detected are shown as ND. The differences between the mRNA levels in the RA and control samples were analyzed by the Mann-Whitney U-test, and significant differences are shown by asterisks (*P < 0.05; **P < 0.01). RA: samples from RA patients; OA: samples from OA patients.Copyright information:Taken from "Proinflammatory role of amphiregulin, an epidermal growth factor family member whose expression is augmented in rheumatoid arthritis patients"http://www.journal-inflammation.com/content/5/1/5Journal of Inflammation (London, England) 2008;5():5-5.Published online 27 Apr 2008PMCID:PMC2396620.
