When looking at the COL7A1 baseline mRNA expression of untreated cultured cells, IPF fibroblasts displayed a trend toward lower baseline mRNA expression with mean FC = 0.6 (Figure 6K) compared with the baseline mRNA expression of untreated control fibroblasts with mean FC = 1.4. Here, COL7A1 is linked to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
