Figure 5From: Down-regulation of the inhibitor of growth family member 4 (ING4) in different forms of pulmonary fibrosis Negative correlation between ING4 semi-quantitative expression levels and pulmonary function parameters in IPF patients. Spearman's correlation was performed and clearly demonstrated an almost linear negative association between ING4 down-regulation and parameters of disease progression including including forced vital capacity (FVC) (A), total lung capacity (TLC) (B) and diffuse lung capacity as expressed by KCO (carbon monoxide transfer coefficient) (C), in IPF patients.Back to article page
