Increased expression of monocyte chemotactic protein-1-induced protein-1 (MCPIP1) in the hidradenitis suppurativa skin. (A) qRT-PCR analysis of MCPIP1 (ZC3H12A) transcript level in the healthy human skin (CTR), non-lesional hidradenitis suppurativa patients’ skin (HS-2) and lesional HS patients’ skin (HS-1) (n = 14). (B) Representative Western blot for MCPIP1. β-actin was used as the loading control. (C) Densitometric quantification of MCPIP1 protein level (n = 4). (D) Representative MCPIP1 immunofluorescence staining of the skin sections. Scale bar 100 μm. Data represent the mean ± SEM. * p < 0.05, *** p < 0.001 by one-way ANOVA.
