FIGURE 4.
Nox4 deletion in AT2 cells of mice reduced inflammatory cytokine profile. Nox4 fl/fl control mice and Nox4 −/− Spc-Cre mice were subjected to NO or HO for 66 h.The BAL fluid collected were subjected to multiplex assays to determine the cytokine profiles. (A) KC, (B) TNF- , (C) MIP-2, (D) IL-6 and (E) MIP-1 showed a significant elevation in the BAL fluid of control HO group which were attenuated by epithelial deletion of Nox4, expressed as pg/ml. n = 3. ****p < 0.0001, ***p < 0.001 and **p < 0.01.
