From: Conditional deletion of epithelial IKKβ impairs alveolar formation through apoptosis and decreased VEGF expression during early mouse lung morphogenesis

Figure 6

Alveolar formation is impaired through altered lung septation. Hart's elastin stain in control (A) versus double transgenic (B) lungs at P7. Real-time quantitative PCR showing expression of (C) elastin, (D) PDGF-A and (E) α-SMA. Immunofluorescence for α-SMA representing myofibroblasts in control (F) versus double transgenic (G) lungs at P7 with quantification in (H). [40 × magnification in A, B, F, G with insets 80 × magnification and arrows pointing to elastin expression in A & B, and arrows pointing to myofibrobasts in F & G; Data are expressed as Mean ± SEM, * p < 0.05 in C-E, and H].
