Blood neutrophil counts are increased in COPD patients with low SUV39H1 levels. a WBC counts were analysed in COPD patients with low SUV39H1 expression [fold change (FC) < 0.5, SUV39H1 Lo] or high SUV39H1 expression (FC ≥ 0.5, SUV39H1 Hi). However, there was no significant difference (p = 0.110). b Notably, the neutrophil percentage in COPD patients with low SUV39H1 expression was markedly higher than that in subjects with high SUV39H1 expression. *p = 0.015. c The eosinophil percentage in COPD patients with high SUV39H1 expression was increased compared with that in COPD patients with low SUV39H1 expression. However, there was no significant difference (p = 0.125). d Similarly, the ratios of eosinophils/neutrophils (Eos/Neuts) in COPD patients with high SUV39H1 expression were increased. However, the difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.071). n.s.: not significant
