Hypoxia-Inducible Factor-1α in Macrophages, but Not in Neutrophils, Is Important for Host Defense during Klebsiella pneumoniae-Induced Pneumosepsis

Figure 4

HIF1α deficiency affects TNF production capacity of AMs and IMs. Percentage TNF-positive cells and the mean fluorescent intensity (MFI) of the TNF staining of AMs (a) and IMs (b) from LysM-cre × Hif1αfl/fl (Cre+) and control mice (WT) after stimulation of lung suspensions for 2.5 hours with heat-killed K. pneumoniae (K. pneu) or medium control (MED). Data are shown as bar graphs showing mean with standard error of the mean from 10 mice per group. MFIs and percentage positive cells were compared using Student’s -tests followed by the Holm-Sidak multiple comparison test. ; ; ; .
