From: OC-STAMP is a potential biomarker and therapeutic target for Silicosis: an exploratory investigation

OC-STAMP, Ferroptosis and fibrosis-related signals are abnormally activated in Silicosis. A–H Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR to detect the mRNA expression levels of E-cadherin, GPX4, OC-STAMP, NF-KB, LCN2, N-cadherin, Collagen I, and Fibronectin in the lung tissues of rats in the silica 168d group and the control group (n = 3). I ELISA for OC-STAMP expression in plasma of healthy individuals and Silicosis patients (n = 12). All data were expressed as mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001
