Basal serum-free gene expression in non-ILD control, SSc-ILD, and IPF lung fibroblasts was determined by Affymetrix microarray analysis [27]. Mean expression levels are given in Affymetrix units. Fold changes for SSc-ILD and IPF fibroblasts, and p values adjusted for multiple comparisons, are relative to the expression levels in non-ILD control cells.
