Figure 1

mRNA expression of lysosomal sulfatases is increased in COPD patients. mRNA expression of ARSB (A), GALNS (B), GNS (C), IDS (D), and SGSH (E) were observed in lung fibroblasts from never smokers, ever smokers and COPD patients. Line indicates the median value. Former smokers are represented as filled triangles and current smokers are represented by open squares. K-W = Kruskal-Wallis test was used, followed by Dunn’s multiple comparison post-tests (=D). In some cases, relationships were also determined by Mann-Whitney test = M.W. **= significance at p < 0.01, *= significance at p < 0.05. Data are depicted as 2−∆Ct showing the expression of the respective specific mRNA normalized against the average expression of the two reference genes β-actin and GAPDH. A.U. = arbitrary units.
