From: Overexpression of SERPIN B3 promotes epithelial proliferation and lung fibrosis in mice
(a–e) Group T20d, fibrosis extension in PBS control (a), WT/BLM (b) and TG/BLM (c) mice. Azan–Mallory stain. Bar =50 μm. Fibrosis was not detectable in PBS controls (a). Fibrotic extension was higher in TG/BLM (c) than in WT/BLM mice (b) Graphs show the amount of fibrotic extension (%) in the lung parenchyma in WT/BLM and TG/BLM animals (d) (P=0.01) and TGF-β mRNA levels (e) (P=0.04).
