Fig 2. The TNF-α cytokine expression in animals exposed to VILI.

Fig 2

A: in serum, B: in BALF, C: in lung tissue homogenization. The cytokine profiles of TNF-α from collected serum, BALF, and lung tissue homogenization samples, respectively, were shown by ELISA kit assay A: Time course of TNF-α in serum during animals exposed to 10 cmH2O pressure of ventilation. B and C: The expression of TNF-α in BALF and lung tissue homogenization collected in animals exposing to 10 cmH2O of ventilation pressure for 4 hours. PC10: animals exposed to VILI via high pressure ventilation at 10 cmH2O for 4 hours, CTL: control group animals without ventilator administration. N = 8 per group.*:P <0.05 compared with baseline point or animal without ventilator. The results are presented in terms of mean±SEM.
