Sevoflurane inhibits inflammation and apoptosis in ALI mice. Mice were divided into 4 groups: The Sham, SEVO, ALI and ALI + SEVO groups (n=6 mice/group). (A) The total counts of cells from BALF were counted using a hemocytometer. (B-D) The protein levels of (B) IL-1β, (C) IL-6 and (D) TNF-α were assessed by ELISA. (E) The expression of cleaved caspase 3 and Bcl-2 was measured by western blotting. Data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation of three independent experiments. *P<0.05 and **P<0.01 vs. Sham group; ##P<0.01, as indicated. SEVO, the sevoflurane treated group; ALI, acute lung injury; IL, interleukin; TNF, tumor necrosis factor; BALF, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid.
