Fig. 4. The absence of CD14 did not affect goblet cells but impacted mucin genes.

Fig. 4.

Periodic acid Schiff’s stained lung sections (A) were used to enumerate goblet cells in the airway lining (B). Numbers of GCs were similar between wild-type (WT) and knockout (KO) mice with co-morbidity inducing a reduction compared to asthma. Mucin genes, Muc5ac and Muc5b were differentially regulated in the absence of CD14 (C). Data are represented as the mean and SD of n = 5 mice per group per genotype and were analyzed by two-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparisons test. Data are significant (p < 0.05) when letters above bars are dissimilar. Scale bar = 100 μm and applies to all images.
