Normal human bronchial epithelium releases tissue factor (TF) protein when exposed to LPS. A, Normal human bronchial epithelium exposed to 10 μg/mL of LPS for 24 h released > 50% more TF protein than those exposed to vehicle (P < .001). Three different cell lines were used to verify this observation, and data were normalized to reflect change vs control instead of reporting protein concentrations due to significant variation in relative concentrations between the cell lines. B, TF messenger RNA did not increase after exposure to 10 μg/mL of LPS for 3 h. Results normalized to reflect change vs control instead of reporting protein concentrations due to significant variation in relative concentrations between the cell lines. Results are reported as means with error bars indicating SEs. LPS = lipopolysaccharide.
