Fig 1 Representative immunostaining of EDN1 in bronchial biopsy specimens from control subjects (A), a patient with mild steroid-untreated asthma (B), and patients with severe steroid-sensitive (C) and steroid-refractory (D) asthma is shown. Scale bars = 250 μm. E, proportion of EDN1-positive epithelial cells per millimeter of SBM in bronchial biopsy specimens from control subjects and the 3 groups of asthmatic patients. Bars represent median values, and error bars denote interquartile ranges.

Fig 3 Representative immunostaining of fibroblasts and myofibroblasts (propyl-4-hydroxylase–positive cells) in bronchial biopsy specimens from a control subject (A), a patient with mild steroid-untreated asthma (B), and patients with severe steroid-sensitive (C) and refractory (D) asthma is shown. Scale bars = 250 μm. E, Numbers of fibroblasts/myofibroblasts per millimeter of SBM in bronchial biopsy specimens from control subjects and the 3 groups of asthmatic patients. Bars represent median values, and error bars denote interquartile ranges.
