JNK2 mRNA levels are also negatively correlated with lung injury severity in LPS-induced ALI model. (A) mRNA expressions of JNK2 or inflammatory cytokines in whole lung homogenates of wild-type mice treated with i.t. LPS. (B) Left panel, gating strategy to flow sort AT2 cells and AMs from PBS-treated mouse lung. Middle panel, JNK2 protein expression in AT2 cells and AMs flow-sorted from PBS- or LPS-treated whole lung homogenates. Right panel, JNK2 mRNA level in AT2 cells flow-sorted from PBS- or LPS-treated mouse lung. N=3-6. Data are presented as means ± sem. ***p < 0.001; ****p < 0.0001; ns, not significant.
