From: The impact of cigarette smoke exposure, COPD, or asthma status on ABC transporter gene expression in human airway epithelial cells

Figure 5

A change in ABC transporter expression patterns in airway epithelial cells from asthmatics is distinct from smoking or COPD status. Gene expression levels of selected ABC transporters (a, ABCA13; b, ABCC1; c, ABCC2; d, ABCC4; e, ABCC9) between healthy controls (green) and asthmatics (blue). Significant ABC transporter expression differences are indicated by asterisks (q < 0.05 according to Mann-Whitney U test with Benjamini Hochberg correction). Both datasets (GSE4302 and GSE67472) analyzed epithelial cells from medium (3rd-5th generation) airways and were generated from the Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2 microarray platform (using the Mas 5.0 Normalization method). Data distributions are visualized as boxplots (see Methods for additional details).
