Expression profiling of genes for collagen, collagen synthesis enzymes, and chemokines of directly isolated cells. Cluster and dendrogram analyses were performed among three types of directly isolated cells, that is, fibroblasts of saline-treated lungs (SF1, SF2, and SF3), fibroblasts of bleomycin-injured lungs at day 12 (BF1, BF2, and BF3), and myofibroblasts of bleomycin-injured lungs at day 12 (M1, M2, and M3). QRT-PCR was performed in triplicate using three independently prepared RNA samples. The original raw data are shown in Additional file1: Tables S4 and S5.
