Fig 1. Expression of KRT14 in ARDS, ILD and normal lungs.

Fig 1

A) Assessment of Surfactant-B (SP-B) expression at mRNA level. Box plots of the real-time PCR measurements as ΔCt (SP—B-RLP13a) values of ARDS patients (n = 4). ILD patients (n = 4) and Controls (n = 6). The box whisker plots visualize the minimum (end of the bottom whisker), the first quartile (bottom border of the box), the median (line through the box), the third quartile (top border of the box), and the maximum (end of the top whisker) of the distribution. DAD = diffuse alveolar damage, ILD = interstitial lung disease. B) Assessment of KRT14 expression at mRNA level. Box plots of the real-time PCR measurements as ΔCt (KRT14-RPL13a) values of ARDS patients (n = 4), ILD patients (n = 4) and Controls (n = 6). ΔCt values are shown in Table 1. The box whisker plots visualize the minimum (end of the bottom whisker), the first quartile (bottom border of the box), the median (line through the box), the third quartile (top border of the box), and the maximum (end of top whisker) of the distribution. C) Assessment of KRT14 expression at protein level. The immunoreactive material with MW compatible with that of KRT14 protein only in DAD patients. Upper panel: Western blot analysis. Lower panel: Ponceau red staining. The loading order is indicated in between the two panels and the Subject numbers correspond to that shown in Table 1.
