Gene expression analyzed by RT-PCR. Representative images of gel electrophoresis of RT-PCR product and average expression of genes encoding hypoxia inducible factor 1α (HIF1A), von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) and β-actin (B-ACTIN, internal standard) proteins. 1 - Healthy mice (control); 2-Mice instilled with bleomycin (1.5 U/kg); 3 - Mice instilled with bleomycin (1.5 U/kg) and treated by inhalation with liposomal PGE2. Means ± SD from are shown. *P < 0.05 when compared with healthy mice (control). †P < 0.05 when compared with mice instilled with bleomycin.
