CL27c reduces inflammation in a model of OVA-induced acute allergic asthma. a Protocol of OVA-induced acute allergic asthma and treatment regimen with inhaled CL27c (2 mg/ml) or Dexamethasone (Dexa, 3 mg/kg, i.p.). b Quantification of macrophage, neutrophil, eosinophil, and lymphocyte infiltration in BALF of control and OVA-treated mice in the presence of vehicle (white bars), CL27c (black bars) or Dexa (gray bars) (from left to right, macrofages n = 6, 6, 10, 6, neutrophils n = 6, 6, 10, 5, eosinophils n = 6, 6, 8, 5, and lymphocytes n = 6, 5, 10, 6 independent experiments, respectively). c Analysis of IL-5 and IL-13 levels in the lung tissue of control and OVA-treated mice in the presence of vehicle, CL27c or Dexa (from left to right IL-5 n = 5, 11, 9, 5 and IL-13 n = 5, 11, 10, 5 independent experiments, respectively). d Histopathological analysis of lung of peribronchial (upper panels) and alveolar (lower panels) spaces showing CD18+ leukocyte infiltration (brown cells) in CL27c or Dexamethasone (Dexa)-treated mice after the OVA challenge. Bar = 50 μm (upper panel) and 10 μM (lower panel). Results represent mean ± s.e.m., *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 determined using one-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni post-hoc test. n.s. = non-significant (P > 0.05)
