Relative complement component 3 (C3) expression in human lung tissues from 175 controls and 300 idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) cases by quantitative PCR. A: IPF lung tissue had significantly higher C3 expression than control lung. Relative C3 expression in human lung tissue compared with genotypes at rs35705950 from 175 controls and 300 IPF cases by quantitative PCR. B: in control lungs, there is no significant difference in C3 expression between genotypes. C: in IPF lung tissue, the TT genotype had significantly higher C3 expression than GG or GT. Statistical tests were performed on Δcycle threshold (ΔCT) values (C3 CT values normalized to housekeeping gene GAPDH), and relative expression is visually depicted as (10 – ΔCT) on this graph. Lines indicate mean values with bars denoting ± SE.
