Intermittent hypoxia increases lung inflammation and pulmonary edema in bleomycin-treated mice. (a) Total cell count was determined in BAL from mice at day 4 in the 4 experimental groups. Changes in BAL cell population (Macro: macrophages; PMN: polymorphonuclear cells; Ly: lymphocytes) were determined in the 4 experimental groups. Data represent means ± SE, n = 6 mice per group. (b) Myeloperoxidase (MPO) concentration was assessed by ELISA in lung homogenate of mice at day 4 and day 8 in the 4 experimental groups. Data represent means ± SE, n = 4 mice per group. (c) Lung histology of mice at day 8. Lung sections were prepared at day 8 in the 4 experimental groups and stained with haematoxylin and eosin to assess lung morphology. (d) Lung wet/dry weight ratios for all experimental groups at day 8. Data represent means ± SE, n = 5 mice per group. ∗p < 0.01 versus Saline-IA; ∗∗p < 0.01 versus Saline-IA; ∗∗∗p < 0.001 versus Saline-IA; #p < 0.05 versus BLM-IA; ##p < 0.01 versus BLM-IA; ###p < 0.001 versus BLM-IA.
