Effect of SIS3 on Extracellular Matrix Remodeling and Repair in a Lipopolysaccharide-Induced ARDS Rat Model

Figure 4

SIS3 pretreatment alleviates lung injury and focal inflammation in LPS-induced ARDS. (a) BALF was collected 24 h after intratracheal instillation of LPS. The alternation of the alveolar capillary barrier was weakened by SIS3 pretreatment in ARDS rats, which was seen in an increase of the lung ratio. (b–d) The total cells, neutrophils, and neutrophil ratio in the BALF were higher in the ARDS group than in the control group. The values were also lower in the group when compared to the ARDS group, respectively. The data are presented as the (). vs. CTL; # vs. ARDS.
