Proteomic Analysis of Lung Tissue in a Rat Acute Lung Injury Model: Identification of PRDX1 as a Promoter of Inflammation
Figure 4
LPS causes upregulation of PRDX1 in vitro. (a) Morphological changes in BEAS-2B cells after treatment with 1 μg/mL or 10 μg/mL LPS in 12 hours or 24 hours. BEAS-2B without any treatment was used as a control, original magnification, ×200. (b) Effects of LPS on cell viability. Results are presented as the percentage absorbance of the control group. Data are expressed as the means ± SD. versus the control group. (c) and (d) the expression of PRDX1 in culture media was evaluated by western blotting (c) and ELISA (d) after challenge with LPS. α-Tubulin was not detected in the conditioned media. Experiments in (c) and (d) were repeated at least 3 times, with similar results. Each bar represents the mean ± SD of three independent experiments..
