Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 3. MCAM and its binding partners are specifically upregulated in blood capillaries in psoriasis. (a) Gene expression patterns of MCAM, LAMA4 and KDR in each BEC subtype in healthy and psoriatic conditions. Clusters with significant differences in expression (logFC > 0.2, adjusted P < 0.05) are marked by asterisks. Representative immunofluorescence images showing elevated protein levels of (b) MCAM (green), (e) LAMA4 (green) and (h) KDR (green) in psoriatic (lower) versus in healthy (upper) dermal capillaries stained for CD31 (white) and RGCC (red) as denoted by arrowheads. Bars ¼ 100 mm. Magnified images of the regions of interest (dotted outline) can be found in Supplementary Figure S3. The MFI of (c) MCAM, (f) LAMA4 and (i) KDR in CD31þRGCCþ blood
