Prevention of Bleomycin-Induced Pulmonary Inflammation and Fibrosis in Mice by Bilobalide

Figure 3

Bilobalide mediated antipulmonary fibrosis response by inhibiting inflammation. Total cell numbers of leukocytes (a), neutrophils (b), lymphocytes (c), and macrophages (d) in BALF were determined by Giemsa staining. CXCL10 (e), CCL2 (f), and TNF-α (g) content in BALF. Data were reported as means ± SD, n = 6. vs. control, ^# vs. BLM, ^## vs. BLM. BALF, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. CXCL10, chemokine C-X-C ligand 10. CCL2, C-C motif chemokine ligand 2. TNF-α, tumor necrosis factor-α.
