(A) Lung biopsies from patients with IPF characterized as SP or RP stained with H&E (left) or Trichrome (right). Scale bar: 250 μm. (B) Immunofluorescence staining and ROI selection. Scale bar: 500 μm. (C) Differential gene expression analysis (SP = 5 patients; RP = 4 patients). (D) Immunofluorescence staining and ROI selection for vascular bed. Scale bar: 500 μm. (E and F) Number of upregulated genes. (G) Differential gene expression analysis of vascular bed. (H) Unique upregulated genes in the RP vascular bed. Significance for differential gene expression: log2 fold change of 1 or –1, P = 0.05.
