IPF pulmonary fibroblasts have reduced level of PG protein expression. Each normal (white) or IPF (black) cell line was assessed for PG protein expression by Western blot and shown as individual protein expression in (a) or grouped based on classification (b). The individual cell line levels (left panel) are normalized to S127N. Densitometric ratios were obtained by comparing PG to GAPDH. b When the cells are grouped the IPF cells overall show a significant decrease in PG expression compared to normal cells (Normal, n = 46 and IPF, n = 31, p < 0.05)
