Figure 2

Box-and-whisker plots of HSP47, type I procollagen and α-SMA in patients with idiopathic UIP, CVD-associated UIP and idiopathic NSIP. (A) Patients with idiopathic UIP and idiopathic NSIP (P < 0.05) had a significantly higher expression of HSP47 in fibroblasts than those with CVD-associated UIP. (B) Expression of HSP47 in type II pneumocytes of patients with idiopathic UIP was significantly higher than that of CVD-associated UIP and idiopathic NSIP. (C) Expression of type I procollagen in type II pneumocytes of patients with idiopathic UIP was significantly higher than in idiopathic NSIP. (D) Patients with idiopathic UIP had a significantly higher expression of α-SMA in fibroblasts than those with idiopathic NSIP. *P < 0.01, compared with control. †P < 0.05, compared with control. The boxes represent the 25th to 75th percentiles, the solid lines within the boxes show the median values, the whiskers are the 10th and 90th percentiles, and the points represent outliers. For abbreviations, see Figure 1.
