Figure 2. LPS stimulation elevates the level of CLCA1 in ARDS mouse model.
A. The survival rate of LPS-stimulated mice, mice were intratracheally administrated with different concentrations of LPS (0, 2.5, 5.0 and 10.0 mg/kg), n = 12. B. The lung injury score of LPS-stimulated mice, n = 6, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, compared with PBS group, #P < 0.05, compared with LPS-2.5 group. C. The BALF protein concentration of LPS-stimulated mice, n = 6, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, compared with PBS group, ##P < 0.01, compared with LPS-2.5 group. D. The total BALF cells of LPS-stimulated mice, n = 6. ***P < 0.001, compared with PBS group, #P < 0.05, compared with LPS-2.5 group. E. H&E staining of murine lung sections, scale bar 100μm. F. The lung W/D weight ratio of LPS-stimulated mice, n = 6, *P < 0.05, compared with PBS group. G. the level of TNF-α and IL-6 in LPS stimulated mice detected by ELISA, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, compared with PBS group; ## P < 0.01, compared with LPS-2.5 group. H. The number of BALF neutrophils in LPS stimulated mice, n = 6, **P < 0.01. I. The level of CXCL1 and CXCL2 in LPS stimulated mice detected by ELISA, n = 6, **P < 0.01. J. The level of CLCA1 in LPS stimulated mice detected by ELISA, n = 6, **P < 0.01, compared with PBS group. K. The murine lung sections were dyed by immunohistochemistry stain, the brown area is specific staining of CLCA1, scale bar 100 μm.
