Inflammatory characteristics of the ALI murine model.
(A) Total inflammatory cells and neutrophils in BALF. (B) Inflammatory mediators, including TNF-α, IL-6 and MPO activity in BALF. (C) The mRNA expression of chemokines, including CXCL1, CXCL2 and CXCL5. (D) Th17-linear cytokines, including IL-17 and IL-22 in BALF. The error bars indicate SEM. The different superscript letters (a–e) represent a significant difference in these columns (p < 0.05). All mice were wild type, with 4~6 mice per group.
