Lats2-Underexpressing Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Ameliorate LPS-Induced Acute Lung Injury in Mice

Figure 3

Lats2-underexpressing BMSCs improve lung edema and permeability of lung epithelium. (a) Protein expression of occludin in the lung tissue was measured using Western blot analysis at 14 days after LPS exposure. β-Actin was used as the internal reference. (b) Lung edema was measured by the LWW/BW at 3 and 14 days after LPS challenge. (c) TP in the BALF was measured using ELISA at 3 and 14 days after LPS challenge. (d) ALB in the BALF was measured using ELISA at 3 and 14 days after LPS challenge. The results are presented as the deviation of values obtained from six mice per group at each time point. .
