H&E stained sections were viewed at ×200 magnification, and tissue injury grading was carried out as described in methods. The mean score from all examined fields was calculated as the inflammation score (IS). Means and ± SEMs are provided (n = 3–4). *P < 0.01, WT BLM vs WT Sham; ^#P < 0.05, WT BLM vs STC1 Tg BLM; NS, WT Sham vs STC1 Tg Sham, or STC1 Tg Sham vs STC1 Tg BLM.
