Figure 5. Expression of subepithelial collagen and mesenchymal/epithelial markers in native biopsies from EoE and control subjects used for primary esophageal epithelial cell lines.

Figure 5

A, E: Trichrome stain of esophageal biopsy from subjects 394 and 425 shows differential subepithelial collagen deposition (blue) in EoE (394) and non EoE (425) subjects. B, F: Reduced epithelial E-cadherin (red) expression in EoE subject compared to normal control. Figure Finset shows magnified detail of E-cadherin in the normal control. C, D: Expression of mesenchymal marker vimentin (yellow) and α-SMA (green) in EoE subject. Figure D inset shows magnified detail of α-SMA expression in the EoE biopsy sample. G, H: Vimentin and α-SMA expression in control subject biopsy. Images are shown at 200X magnification.
