Differentially Expressed Genes Between CF Patients and non-CF Control Subjects
Among 39 differentially expressed genes (Table S2), Intercellular Adhesion Molecule 1 (ICAM1; 4,29 FC, p=0.03) was significantly upregulated whereas Ezrin (EZR; -7,27 FC, p=0.02), Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor Superfamily, Member 1A (TNFRSF1A; -2,43 FC, p=0.01) and Heat Shock 70kDa Protein 1A (HSPA1A; -2,39 FC, p=0.006) were significantly down regulated in CF patients compared to non-CF control subjects (Figure 4).
