Figure 3From: Microarray profiling reveals suppressed interferon stimulated gene program in fibroblasts from scleroderma-associated interstitial lung diseaseWestern blot confirmation of microarray results. Protein expression levels of six significantly differently expressed genes selected from the microarray data were visualised by western blot in fibroblast samples independent to those used in the microarray (n=3 for each group). A) Protein expression of fibrosis related genes, CTGF and αSMA; and key regulator of interferon response, STAT1. B) Protein expression of interferon stimulated genes (ISG): IFITM1-3, ISG15 and IRF-1.Back to article page
