From: Silencing CD36 gene expression results in the inhibition of latent-TGF-β1 activation and suppression of silica-induced lung fibrosis in the rat

Figure 1

CD36 mRNA levels from the AMs of each group were detected by realtime-PCR. The expression of CD36 mRNA in the silica+Lv-shCD36 group was significantly lower than in the saline control, silica, or silica+Lv-shCD36-NC groups at 7 days. Each bar represents the mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05, as compared to saline control group;Δ P < 0.05, as compared to silica group; and # P < 0.05, as compared to the silica+Lv-shCD36-NC group. Data was repeated twice (n = 3) and similar results were obtained.
