From: Extracellular matrix alterations in the skin of patients affected by psoriasis
HPSE2 protein level and mRNA expression were increased in skin tissues of patients with psoriasis. A, Immunostaining using an anti-HPSE2 antibody (magnified 400X). B, HPSE2 protein expression. Mean and standard deviation values were obtained by digital quantification (u.o/μm2). C, HPSE2 mRNA expression using quantitative RT-PCR. Relative mRNA expression compared to endogenous genes GAPDH (glyceraldehyde-3-fosfate-dehydrogenase) and RPL13a (a ribosomal protein). The mean and standard deviation The values represent the analysis performed in triplicate samples. Control, blepharoplasty skin; Non-affected, unaltered skin tissue from patient with psoriasis; Psoriasis, a central area of psoriasis plaque
