Effects of licochalcone A (LA) on asthmatic lung tissue. Histological sections of lung tissues from normal (N) and OVA-stimulated (OVA) mice with or without LA (LA5 and LA10) treatment. (A) LA reduced eosinophil infiltration (HE stain; 200× magnification) and (B) scoring of inflammation in pathological evaluation of inflammatory cell infiltration in lung sections. (C) Periodic acid–Schiff (PAS)-stained lung sections demonstrated goblet cell hyperplasia. Goblet cells are indicated with arrows (200× magnification). (D) Results were expressed as the number of PAS-positive cells per 100 μm of basement membrane. Three independent experiments were analyzed, and data were presented as mean ± SEM. * P < 0.05 compared to the OVA control group. ** P < 0.01 compared to the OVA control group.
