Fig 4. LPS treatment leads to contractile responses only in the GSTCD deleted PCLS.

Fig 4

Lung slices were prepared from GSTCD+/+ and GSTCD-/- mice. (A) And (B) comparison of time courses of averaged contraction of slices in GSTCD+/+ following either PBS or LPS treatment. (C) And (D) comparison of time courses of averaged contraction of slices in GSTCD-/- following either PBS or LPS treatment. (E) Representative airway in GSTCD+/+ (upper row) and GSTCD-/- (lower row) stimulated by Mch (1 μM) before and after LPS treatment. Images of airways were taken following a 5-minute incubation of drugs and control (in absence of Mch). (F) Comparison of % decrease of contractility of airways before and after LPS treatment in GSTCD+/+ and GSTCD-/- groups. * Compared between LPS in GSTCD+/+ PCLS and GSTCD-/- PCLS P <0.05.
