Higher HPSE expression in psoriasis plaque. A, Immunostaining using an anti-HPSE antibody (magnified 400X). B, Protein expression of HPSE obtained digital quantification (u.o/μm2). The values represent mean and standard deviation. C, HPSE messenger RNA (mRNA) detection by quantitative RT-PCR. The values represent mean and standard deviation relative to endogenous genes GAPDH (glyceraldehyde-3-fosfate-dehydrogenase) and RPL13a (a ribosomal protein). The analysis was performed in triplicate samples. Control, blepharoplasty tissue; Non-affected, unaltered skin tissue from a patient with psoriasis; Psoriasis, a central area of psoriasis plaque
