Immunohistochemical analysis of MMP1 (a) and computed tomography (CT) scanning images of a patient with IPF (b). DAB staining (brown color) indicates positive MMP1 expression in adjacent normal lung tissue of NSCLC without IPF or healthy normal tissue (a1-a3), IPF tissue (b1-b3), lung tumor tissue of NSCLC without IPF (c1-c3), IPF tissue of NSCLC with IPF (d), and tumor tissue of NSCLC with IPF (e). The IPF sample (b1-b3) is more severe than the IPF-progressed NSCLC sample from a patient who had not been diagnosed with lung cancer (d) and is also more severe than the IPF-progressed NSCLC sample from a patient who was diagnosed with lung cancer (a1-a2)
