Expression of SAP130 in lung tissue of IPF patients and control subjects (IHC staining). (A) Representative image of control lung tissues (scale bar: 50 µm) showed SAP130 protein is expressed sparsely in normal alveolar structures. (B) Representative image of lung tissues of an IPF patient (scale bar: 50 µm) showed SAP130 protein is dramatically increased in IPF compared to control. SAP130 localizes diffusely to alveolar epithelial cells adjacent to the areas of mature fibrosis. SAP130, spliceosome-associated protein 130; IPF, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis; IHC, immunohistochemistry.
