Amifostine (AMI) reduces bleomycin (BLM)-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and extracellular matrix (ECM) changes. (a) Western blot detection results of E-cadherin, N-cadherin and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) expression in lung tissue. (b) Western blot density analysis. (c) Immunohistochemical staining of type I collagen in lung tissue (magnification × 100 and × 200). Data are expressed as mean ± SD (n = 6). ⁎⁎P < 0.01 versus the control group. ##P < 0.01 and #P < 0.05 versus the model group. &&P < 0.01 and &P < 0.05 versus the AMI 200-mg/kg group.
