Article Title: Reciprocal regulation of protein arginine deiminase 2 and 4 expression in the colonic mucosa of ulcerative colitis
doi: 10.3164/jcbn.23-77
Figure Lengend Snippet: Correlation between the mRNA expression of protein arginine deiminase 4 ( PAD4 ) and cytokines in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). mRNA was isolated from the colonic mucosa of patients with UC. (A) Correlation between the mRNA expression of PAD4 and IFN-α4 , IFN-β , IL12/23p40 , C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 8 ( CXCL8 ), CXCL10 , TNF receptor-associated factor 3 ( TRAF3 ), interferon regulatory factor 3 ( IRF3 ), IRF7 , IL-6 , and TNF -α. (B) Correlation between the mRNA expression of PAD2 and IFN-α4 , IFN-β , CXCL8 , CXCL10 , IL-6 , and TNF -α. Each dot represents the value for each patient. P values and correlation coefficient ( r ) values, as determined by Pearson’s correlation coefficient, are shown.
Article Snippet: PAD2 and PAD4 expression was visualized using the DAKO EnVision+ System (DAKO JAPAN, Tokyo, Japan), as previously described, with rabbit human anti-PAD2 antibody (Proteintech, Rosemont, IL) and anti-PAD4 antibody (GeneTex, Irvine, CA). ( )
