Decreased gene expression of interleukin 2 receptor subunit γ (CD132) in tissues of patients with Crohn’s disease

Figure 5 Interleukin 7 receptor gene expression (retrotranscription-quantitative PCR). A: Comparation of interleukin 2 (IL-2) receptor subunit γ [cluster of differentiation (CD132)] gene expression of patients with Crohn's disease (CD) (n = 4) vs healthy controls (HCs) (n = 4); B: Gene expression of CD127 and CD132 to perform RT-PCR. The relative expression of each gene was normalized against glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GADPH) expression, used as reference standards; C and D: Show the relationship of gene expression in tissues of CD127 and CD132 subunit with IL-7 serum titers of all subjects; E: Shows the characteristics of the subjects in whom the gene expression of IL-7 receptor has been analyzed. Values of CD127 and CD132 are expressed as arbitrary units (AU), and double T bars denote standard deviation. Mann-Whitney U test was used (^aP < 0.05). Correlations: Spearman’s r test was used.
