Up-regulation of CXCL10 in the lungs of TsCIA. (a–d) mRNA expression and distribution of CXCL10 were detected by in situ hybridization (ISH) in TsCIA lungs at day 45. Representative ISH signals are indicated by arrows. Hybridizations were performed by antisense (a and b) or sense probes (c and d), respectively. Control (a and c); TsCIA (b and d); Scale bar, 200 μm. (e) ISH signal area was analyzed by NIH ImageJ software (*p < 0.05. Error bars indicate SEM). (f) Quantification of mRNA levels of chemokines in control lungs and TsCIA lungs (n = 4 tree shrews per group, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001. Error bars indicate SEM).
