Heat map on circulating serum markers in SSc, diffuse SSc subset and SSc specific autoantibodies (Color print necessary). Mean serum marker values of the SSc group compared to healthy controls and reported as color ratios. Subsets are compared within the SSc cohort; dcSSc is compared to lcSSc, while ACA and ATA positive subsets are compared to ACA and ATA negative subsets, respectively. Colors reflect upregulated serum marker ratios, white squares indicate downregulation, and black squares indicate no significant alteration. ACA anti-centromere antibodies, ATA anti-topoisomerase-I antibodies, CCL C–C motif ligand, CD cluster of differentiation, CXCL C-X-C motif ligand, dcSSc diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis, DKK1 Dickkopf-related protein 1, HGF hepatocyte growth factor, IL interleukin, PLGF placental growth factor, SSc systemic sclerosis, TRAIL tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand, TSLP thymic stromal lymphopoietin, VEGF vascular endothelial growth factor.
