FACS analyses. A Stimulation of tuft cells intratracheally with 100 µM clozapine-N-oxide (CNO) in Trpm5-DREADD mice (n = 5) led to a significant increase in neutrophil numbers within bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF, Kurskal-Wallis test) in (B) trachea (One-way ANOVA) but not in (C) blood (One-way ANOVA) after 30 min, compared to untreated Trpm5-DREADD control (n = 6), Trpm5-DREADD sham treated (n = 4) and CNO-treated Trpm5+/+ mice (n = 5). D In Trpm5-DREADD mice treated with 100 µM CNO (n = 7), the numbers of monocytes were significantly increased in BAL samples after 30 min compared to CNO-treated Trpm5+/+mice (n = 7). sham-treated: n = 3, control=untreated: n = 6. Kruskal-Wallis test. E Interstitial macrophage (IM) numbers increased in BAL samples of Trpm5-DREADD mice treated with 100 µM CNO (n = 7) compared to CNO-treated Trpm5+/+mice (n = 7). sham-treated: n = 5, control=untreated: n = 6. One-way ANOVA. F The number of alveolar macrophages (AM) remained unchanged in BAL-samples of Trpm5-DREADD mice treated with 100 µM CNO (n = 7). Trpm5+/+: n = 7, sham-treated: n = 5, control=untreated: n = 6. Kruskal-Wallis test. G The dendritic cell (DC) number was significantly increased in BALF samples of Trpm5-DREADD mice (n = 6) treated with 100 µM CNO after 30 min compared to CNO-treated Trpm5+/+ mice (n = 7). sham-treated: n = 4, control=untreated: n = 6. One-way ANOVA. H In lungs of Trpm5-DREADD mice (n = 7) treated with 100 µM CNO the DC number was significantly increased after 30 min compared to CNO-treated Trpm5+/+ mice (n = 6). sham-treated: n = 5, control=untreated: n = 3. One-way ANOVA. AH Source data are provided in the Source Data file. Data in panels A–H are presented as mean ± SEM.
