From: Smad gene expression in pulmonary fibroblasts: indications for defective ECM repair in COPD
Differential gene expression in COPD fibroblasts compared to control fibroblasts. X-axis shows different stimuli, y-axis shows the percentage change of the 2-delta-delta-Ct values from the stimulation compared to basal expression. Basal gene expression did not significantly differ between stage II, stage IV, or control fibroblasts for each of the different genes and time points. * indicates a significant difference between COPD and control fibroblasts.
