Figure 5. Effect of low dose chronic chlorine exposure on the expression of epithelial alarmines.

Figure 5

A, The levels of IL-33 expression in the lungs from the mice sensitized and challenged by OVA with or without chlorine exposure were evaluated by RT-qPCR. *p<0.05 vs. groups without chlorine exposure. B, The mRNA expressions of IL-33 in murine MLE12 epithelial cells were measured by qRT-PCR after 48 and 96 hrs stimulation of 0.001% NaOCl. *p<0.05 vs. control. C, TSLP protein expression was evaluated by Western blot analysis. Values in panels A and B are mean ± SEM of evaluations in a minimum of 5 mice. Panel C is a representative of a minimum of three similar experiments.
