Effects of age, LPS, or bleomycin on mRNA levels of SIRT7 and pro-inflammatory and pro-fibrotic markers measured by RT-qPCR in mouse lung tissues. ICAM1, VCAM1, IL6, and SIRT7 mRNA levels normalized to respective β-actin mRNA levels in lung tissue samples of C57BL/6 (A) or A/J mice (B) 24 h after intranasal treatment with LPS or PBS. (C) ICAM1, VCAM1, SIRT7, COL1A1, COL1A2, and COL3A1 mRNA levels normalized to respective 18S rRNA levels in lung tissue samples of C57BL/6 mice 14 days after intra-tracheal instillation of bleomycin or PBS. (D) SIRT7 mRNA levels relative to GAPDH in 5 week- and 18 month-old C57BL/6 mice. Data are expressed as fold changes relative to average mRNA levels in control (PBS-treated) mice in (AC) and fold changes relative to average mRNA value in 5 week-old mice in (D). Each circle represents a separate tested animal. ○ Control (PBS-treated mice), ● LPS- or bleomycin-challenged mice. Means and standard deviations are shown. P values were calculated using the Mann–Whitney U-test.
