Expression of BPIFB4 and key proteins in the PI3K/AKT pathway in COPD mice. (a) Illustration for COPD mouse models. (b, c) Western blot analysis of BPIFB4 (n = 10/group), PI3K, p-PI3K, AKT1, and p-AKT1 (n = 3/group) in the lung tissues of COPD mice and controls. (d) BPIFB4 mRNA expression assessed by RT-qPCR (n = 10/group). (e, f) Statistical significance: ns represented not significant, ***P < 0.001, and ****P < 0.0001, versus controls.
