Fig. 4From: The existence of Th22, pure Th17 and Th1 cells in CIN and Cervical Cancer along with their frequency variation in different stages of cervical cancerThe mRNA expression of AHR, RORC, TNF-α and IL-6 in CIN and CC patients and HC. a AHR mRNA expression level between CIN patients, CC patients and HC was comparable (p > 0.05); b A remarkably high expression of the RORC mRNA was seen in CC patients (0.305 ± 0.188, p = 0.002) or CIN patients (0.256 ± 0.188, p = 0.036) compared to HC; c A significantly high expression of TNF-α was observed in CC patients (median, 0.369; range, 0.016 - 1.59) compared to CIN patients (median, 0.193; range, 0.009 - 4.27, p = 0.015) or HC (0.264 ± 0.28, p = 0.043); d The expression of IL-6 is significantly increased in CC patients (median, 0.101; range, 0.006 - 0.763, p = 0.001) or CIN patients (median, 0.085; range, 0.003 - 1.74, p = 0.019) when compared with HC (median, 0.029; range, 0.002 - 0.139).
