Frequency of Treg cells in peripheral blood lymphocytes of normal non-pregnant women and women with unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion. (a) Higher frequency of Treg cells (mean ± SE) in the normal non-pregnant group (NNP) compared with the unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion group (URSA) (P = 0.001, using Student's t-test); (b) representative flow cytometric analysis for each group (fluorescein isothiocyanate and peridinin chlorophyll protein (PerCP) are the colours conjugated to antibodies, peridinin chlorophyll protein is red and fluorescein isothiocyanate is green).

Frequency of Th17 cells in peripheral blood lymphocytes of normal non-pregnant women and women with unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion. (a) Higher frequency of Th17 cells (mean ± SE) in the unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion group (URSA) compared with the normal non-pregnant group (NNP) (P = 0.018, using Student's t-test); (b) representative flow cytometric analysis for each group phycoerythrin (PE) and peridinin chlorophyll protein (PerCP) are the colours conjugated to antibodies, PerCP is red and PE is orange color).

5. Figure 4
Relative gene expression of cytokines related to Th17 cells in peripheral blood lymphocytes of normal non-pregnant women (NNP) and women who have experienced unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion (URSA). The relative quantity of gene of interest was normalized to the relative quantity of β2M, as reference gene and was reported as fold change of gene expression. (a) IL-17 expression in the normal non-pregnant group compared with the unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion group (P = 0.038); (b) transforming growth factor-beta expression (TGF-β) in NNP group compared with the URSA group (P = 0.001); (c) FoxP3 expression in the normal NNP compared with the URSA group (P = 0.008). Values expressed as mean ± SE. P values according to the Student's t-test.
