Gene Expression Profiling in Peripheral Blood Cells and Synovial Membranes of Patients with Psoriatic Arthritis
Fig 5
Serum levels of osteopontin and osteoactivin in PsA patients and in control subjects.
Graphical representation of the distributions of osteopontin (A) and osteoactivin (B) serum levels in: 60 psoriatic arthritis (PsA) patients, 60 rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients, 60 ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients and in 60 normal subjects (NS). p values were calculated using the non-parametric Mann-Whitney test: Osteopontin: PsA vs NS: p <0.01; PsA vs SA: p <0.01, PsA vs AR: p not significant. Osteoactivin: PsA vs NS: p <0.01; PsA vs SA: p <0.05; PsA vs AR: p <0.01.
