Loss of lc3b aggravated pulmonary inflammation induced by CuONPs. Wild type and lc3b-/- mice were intratracheally instilled of vehicle or 5 mg/kg CuONPs, respectively, then the lung tissues of indicated groups were collected 3 days after treatment. The mRNA expression levels of A Il-1β, B Il-6 and C Tnf-α in mice lung tissues in the indicated groups were determined by QPCR analysis. D The expression levels of CD68 in mice lung tissues in the indicated groups were determined by IHC analysis. Scale bar, 100 μm in the upper panels and 50 μm in the bottom panels. E The average of CD68 intensity shown in (D) were quantified. F The mRNA expression levels of Ccl2 and Sele in mice lung tissues in the indicated groups were determined by QPCR analysis. *indicates < 0.05 compared with indicated group
