Bead array gene expression analysis of FLSs and IL-17 activated FLSs from patients with RA (RA FLS) at 12 h. After serum starvation for 24 h, the RA FLSs were stimulated with IL-17A (20 ng/ml) or without IL-17A. Total RNA from RA FLSs was used for the Bead array gene expression analysis. The genes differentially expressed between the IL-17 activated RA FLSs and the RA FLSs were identified by ANOVA with a P-value < 0.01.
