The effects of capsaicin (CAP) on apoptosis indices in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury. (A) Western blot analysis of the expression of caspase-3 and cleaved caspase-3 in lung tissue. GAPDH was used as the loading control. (B) Quantitative analysis of (A). (C and D) mRNA expression of Bax and Bcl-2 were determined by qPCR. (E) Western blot analysis of protein expression of BAX and BCL-2 in lung tissue. GAPDH was used as the loading control. (F and G) Quantitative analysis of (E). Results are representative of three independent experiments and data are presented as mean ± SD (n = 6–8 for each group). *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01 versus the vehicle group; ^#p < 0.05 and ^##p < 0.01 versus the LPS group.
