Effects of surfactant protein (SP)‐A rescue on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)‐induced lung inflammation. (a) Mice with/without gefitinib pretreatment received intratracheal LPS instillation on day 1 and SP‐A (150 µg/kg) on days 1–3. BAL was performed on days 3 and 6 after LPS instillation. (Inline graphic) control mice; (Inline graphic) mice treated with gefitinib only (grey) mice treated with gefitinib and rescued by SP‐A or gefitinib+/LPS + group. Data presents means ± standard error in three mice. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01. (b) Lung tissue (HE) 3 days after LPS instillation in the SP‐A treated group (left) and control group (gefitinib + LPS) (right).
