Inositol Alleviates Pulmonary Fibrosis by Promoting Autophagy via Inhibiting the HIF-1α-SLUG Axis in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

Figure 1

Inositol attenuated lung injuries in ARDS model mice by activating autophagy. (a) H&E and Masson’s staining analysis of lung tissues from the ARDS model mice and the effects of inositol treatment, magnification, ×200. (b) The levels of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-17, and MCP-1 in the serum of mice from different groups were detected by ELISA. (c), LC3B immunofluorescence staining was performed to detect autophagy changes in ARDS model mice and the effects of treatment with inositol.
