Figure Lengend Snippet: Analysis of periostin expression. (a) Schematic representations of periostin expression analysis. Gene expression under (b) 21 % p O 2 condition and (c) 5 % p O 2 condition (qRT-PCR). (d) Immunofluorescence staining of periostin. (e) Protein expression (ELISA) analysis. (f) Volcano plot comparing FBs under hypoxia without IL-4 (down – blue) and hypoxia with IL-4 (up – red). Labeled genes are those known to be associated with AD pathogenesis and meet the DEG criteria (padj < 0.05 & log2FC > 0). (g) Normalized expression heatmap of selected genes associated with AD pathogenesis. Data are presented as the mean ± s.d. (b, c, e) (n = 3–5). Statistical significance and p values are determined by one-way ANOVA with Tukey's post-hoc comparison (b, c) and unpaired two-tailed Student's t-test (e). (∗) indicates a significant difference (∗p < 0.05, ∗∗p < 0.01, ∗∗∗∗p < 0.0001). (N.D.; Not detected).
