Figure 2 PBMCs exhibit increased gene expression associated with proinflammatory activities in SP patients. The mRNA levels of cGAS, NLRP3, TLR9, TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 in PBMCs were detected using RT-qPCR. Data are normalized to GAPDH and are expressed relative to the NSP group. * p<0.05 compared to NSP.
