Profile of syndecan-1 (SYND1) in the skin of psoriasis patients compared to control tissue. A, Immunostaining using an anti-syndecan-1 antibody (magnified 400X). B, SYND1 protein expression. The values represent the mean and standard deviation of protein expression of SYND1 obtained by digital quantification (u.o/μm2). C, Messenger RNA (mRNA) expression of syndecan-1 obtained 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 values represent the analysis performed in triplicate samples. Control, skin obtained by blepharoplasty; Non-affected, unaltered skin tissue from patient with psoriasis; Psoriasis, affected skin from a central area of the psoriasis plaque
