Enhanced ER stress in AEII cells from Sfpta1-KI mice. (a) Western blot showing levels of phosphorylated IRE1α and actin in AEII cells of 20-wk-old WT and Sftpa1-KI (KI) mice 7 d after infection with IAV or uninfected WT and KI mice at 20 wk of age. Data represent the means ± SD. *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01. (b) Flow cytometric analysis of phosphorylated JNK in WT mice, day 7 IAV-infected Sftpa1-KI or WT mice, or Sftpa1-KI mice infected with IAV and treated with IRE1α inhibitor. Data represent the means ± SD. **, P < 0.01. (c) Survival of WT (closed squares), Sftpa1-KI (open circles), or Sftpa1-KI (closed circles) mice at the age of 20 wk treated with a JNK inhibitor after IAV infection (number of mice in each independent experiment is 10). *, P < 0.05 by log-rank test. Quantification of hydroxyproline contents in WT or Sftpa1-KI mice (number of mice in each independent experiment is 10) 12 d after IAV infection. Data represent the means ± SD. *, P < 0.05. (d) RIPK3 expression in AEII cells in 20-wk-old WT and Sftpa1-KI mice, 20-wk-old WT and Sftpa1-KI mice 7 d after infection with IAV, and 20-wk-old KI mice 7 d after infection with IAV and treated with a JNK inhibitor. Data represent the means ± SD. **, P < 0.01. Data shown are representative of five (c and d) independent experiments or cumulative of five (a and b) independent experiments.
