Proteomic Analysis of Lung Tissue in a Rat Acute Lung Injury Model: Identification of PRDX1 as a Promoter of Inflammation

Figure 1

The establishment of the P. aeruginosa- (PA-) induced acute lung injury rat model. (a) Representative hematoxylin-eosin-stained lung tissue from the rats. Rats subjected to P. aeruginosa showed evidence of extensive lung injury with hemorrhage, inflammatory cell infiltration, and interstitial and alveolar edema compared with control conditions. Lung injury score (b), the lung W/D ratio (c), BALF TNF-α, and IL-1β ((d) and (e)) concentration were significantly increased in P. aeruginosa ALI rats as compared to control rats. rats/group. .
