MethodsSix diagnostic surgical lung biopsy samples of patients with confirmed fNSIP from Yale University and six human lung explants of patients with end-stage fNSIP obtained during lung transplantation at Hannover Medical School (MHH) were included in this study (for basic patient characteristics, see Table 1). The nine nonfibrotic controls were obtained from either surgical size adjustment during lung transplantation or histologically tumor-free specimens from surgical cancer resections. Approval of the relevant ethics committees was obtained (MHH number 2702-2015, Yale 2000031225). Endothelial composition was evaluated by immunofluorescent microscopy using an established staining protocol and established staining panels as described elsewhere (6). Four targets were stained: aerocyte-specific HPGD, pancapillary PRX, COL15A1 for fibrotic endothelial cells, and panendothelial CD31. Regions of interest were analyzed using the ImageJ color threshold function of ImageJ, with the chosen color corresponding to the targeted protein of interest. We focused our analysis on the lung parenchyma by excluding large airways and large vessels. Randomly selected separate regions of interest were used for analyses within each sample, and nine replicates of intimal diameter and wall thickness measurements were made for each sample, with the mean for the sample reported. Values were compared using the Mann-Whitney U test. P values< 0.05 were considered significant.
