D2 protein expression in LPS- and ventilation-induced lung injury (VILI) models. (A) D2 protein and β-actin expression levels were detected by Western blotting from lung homogenates of spontaneous breathing (SB)–, LPS-, and VILI-challenged mice. (B) Graphical presentation of normalized D2 protein levels to β-actin and expressed in fold change showing significant increases of D2 in LPS- and VILI-challenged mice compared with SB mice. All values are presented as mean ± SD from five mice per experimental group. LPS denotes endotoxin-induced ALI; *P < 0.05.
