IL-33-dependent accumulation of Treg cells might mediates pulmonary regeneration during LPS-induced ARDS via TGF-β1 signaling. (A–C) Exogenous IL-33 supplementation did not affect the macrophages, but interfere with neutrophils population in Treg depleted mice after LPS. (A) Schematic sorting of macrophages (CD11b+Ly6c+F4/80+Ly6G−) or neutrophils (CD11b+Ly6c+F4/80−Ly6G+) in the lung suspension. The percentage of (B) macrophages or (C) neutrophils in the lung was detected by flow cytometry. (D) Total cell counts in BALF were evaluated by a hemocytometer. (E) Secretion of cytokine TGF-β1 in BALF. (F) Secretion of cytokine IL-6 in BALF. (G) Secretion of cytokine TNF-α in BALF. For all panels: mean ± S.D. *p ≤ 0.05; **p ≤ 0.01; and ****p ≤ 0.0001 for one-way analysis of variance with the Bonferroni post hoc test for multiple t-tests. A value of p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. n = 6 mice per group.
