Figure 5. Effects of 4-PBA on the levels of IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-1β, ICAM-1, KC, and VEGF protein in lung of LPS-treated mice.

Figure 5

Sampling was performed at 48 hours after LPS treatment in 0.9% NaCl solution (saline)-treated mice administered with drug vehicle (PBS) (SAL+PBS), LPS-treated mice administered with PBS (LPS+PBS), or LPS-treated mice administered with 4-PBA (LPS+PBA). Representative Western blots of IFN-γ (a), TNF-α (c), IL-1β (e), and ICAM-1 (g) in the lung tissues and of KC (i) and VEGF (k) in the BAL fluids. Analyses of band intensity on films are presented as the relative ratio of IFN-γ (b), TNF-α (d), IL-1β (f), and ICAM-1 (h) to actin, while in case of KC and VEGF, analyses of band intensity on films are presented as the relative ratio of the level of KC (j) and VEGF (l) in each group to the level in SAL+PBS. The relative ratio of each protein in the lung tissues of SAL+PBS is arbitrarily presented as 1. Bars represent mean ± SEM from 8 mice per group. #P < 0.05 versus SAL+PBS; *P < 0.05 versus LPS+PBS.
