Fig 8. Effect of APN on collagen type III expression in control or PQ-incubated lung fibroblast.

Fig 8

PQ (0.3 mmol/L, 24 hours) increased, whereas pretreated with APN (5 ug/mL, 2 hours) rescued, collagen type III expression in lung fibroblasts at 24 and 72 h after PQ incubation. The collagen type III protein and mRNA expression were a determined via Western blot and RT-PCR, respectively. Values represent the mean ± standard error of the mean of three parallel measurements. * P<0.05. APN, adiponectin; PQ, paraquat.
