The role of poly I:C-induced NETs in ALI was TLR3 dependent. (A) Infiltration of inflammatory cells and interstitial edema in the lung lobe were reduced in the ALI mice treated with the TLR3 inhibitor, bar = 100 μm; (B-1) cells were counted in the BALF, ^∗p < 0.05; (B-2) protein concentration in the BALF, ^∗p < 0.05; (B-3) neutrophil elastase (NE) activity was evaluated in the BALF, ^∗p < 0.05; (C) flow cytometry analysis of the BALF cells, ^∗p < 0.05; (D) inflammatory cytokines IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α in the lung were quantified using qRT-PCR, ^∗p < 0.05; (E) NETs were observed and quantified in lung tissues from mice administered poly I:C and a TLR3 inhibitor.
