NFκB inhibitor treatment increases steroid sensitivity, reduces airway inflammation and goblet cell metaplasia in HODE induced steroid resistant mice. (A) Schematic representation of experimental design. PDTC (50 mg/kg) was administered intraperitoneally on day 24th and day 26th, 2 hrs and 4 hrs after the administration to HODE and DEX respectively (details explained in material and methods). (B and C) The representative photomicrographs of H and E (20x magnifications) and PAS, respectively. (D) Mean intensity of PAS calculated by Image J software. Data represents mean ± SE; n = 3–6; **p < 0.01, NS: non-significant. Br: bronchi, V: vessel, Arrows indicate the goblet cell metaplasia.
