Figure 7:
PM2.5 exposure induces pulmonary- inflammation and fibrosis. (A) Lung sections from filtered -air (FA) and particulate matter (PM2.5)-exposed mice were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and Sirius red staining at 200× magnification. (B-E) After exposure for 12 weeks, the mRNA- levels of fibrotic- genes collagen I and transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) in lungs (B, C) and the level of inflammatory factors- interleukin 6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis- factor α (TNF-α) in serum (D, E) were measured by qPCR and enzyme linked immunosorbent- assay (ELISA) kits, respectively. Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation (SD); *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 vs. FA group.
