KCNJ2 mRNA levels in lung fibroblasts from 14 IPF patients and 10 NCs. (a) RT-PCR and (b) densitometric analysis of the KCNJ2 band intensities after normalization to those of β-actin. (c) Real-time PCR melt curves and (d) relative gene expression levels. (e) Correlations of the KCNJ2 mRNA levels (n = 12) between transcriptome chips [10] and real-time PCR. The data are presented as medians with 25% and 75% quartiles.
