Antimicrobial inflammatory cytokines in AE-IPF. Serum of 40 IPF patients (20 AE-IPF and 20 stable IPF) and 20 controls was examined with protein microarray analysis. When compared with controls and stable IPF patients, AE-IPF patients showed significant increases in the levels of IL-6, IFN-γ, MIG, IL-17, and IL-9. One-way ANOVA followed by Tukey's post hoc test was used to compare three groups. ∗p < 0.05, ∗∗p < 0.01, ∗∗∗p < 0.001 AE IPF vs. controls. #p < 0.05, ##p < 0.01, ###p < 0.001 AE IPF vs. stable IPF.
