Lung fibroblasts from both young and old mice increase Thy-1 expression in response to bleomycin-induced lung injury. Primary lung fibroblasts were isolated from the lungs of young (3 months old, open bars) and old (24 months old, closed bars) mice at 14 days following sham treatment with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), and at 7 days and 14 days following bleomycin treatment. Isolated fibroblasts were analyzed by flow cytometry for Thy-1 expression, as represented by mean fluorescence intensity (MFI). N = 3–6 mice per group. Data are represented as mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05 decreased compared to young sham-treated group. **P < 0.05 increased compared to young sham-treated group.
