SR-A mRNA expression in AMs.

Notes: RT-qPCR detection of SR-A mRNA expression of alveolar macrophages. Compared with the control samples, COPD patients and smokers without COPD showed significantly higher levels of SR-A mRNA (1.75±0.22 vs 13.65±2.24, P<0.0001 and 1.75±0.22 vs 5.20±0.43, P<0.0001, respectively). Relative expression of SR-A was significantly higher in COPD patients than in smokers (13.65±2.24 vs 5.20±0.43, P<0.0001). The results are presented as mean ± SEM. ****Compared with nonsmoker group, p<0.0001; ^##Compared with COPD group, p<0.01.

Abbreviations: AMs, alveolar macrophages; RT-qPCR, real-time reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction; SEM, standard error of the mean.
