Comparative analysis of gene expression, comparing SFTPC (ATII marker) with that of AQP5 (ATI marker). Expression of each gene was normalised to the housekeeping control, GAPDH. Statistical analysis found a significant reduction in SFTPC between 72 and 120 h, with further reduction observed at 168 h. An inverse relationship was seen between SFTPC and AQP5 over time, with a concurrent increase in AQP5 at the same time points. Mean ± SD, n = 6 (across two experiments). *P ≤ 0.05; **P ≤ 0.001; ***P ≤ 0.0001 (two tailed t test, unpaired).
