TERC or TERT deficiency induced significant disorders of cytokines and growth factors in the pulmonary tissues. A, IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-6, CXCL15, CCL2, TNF-α, and IL-10 mRNA levels were detected in TERC-null mice lungs by quantitative PCR. B, IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-6, CXCL15, CCL2, TNF-α, and IL-10 mRNA levels were detected in TERT-null mice lungs by quantitative PCR. All data are the mean ± S.E. (error bars) of multiple similar experiments. Statistical p values are as indicated.
