Figure 1

Effect of curcumin on the expression of cathepsins K and L in mouse lungs of bleomycin induced fibrosis. Representative images (A) of immunohistochemical staining and quantification (B and C) of the expression of CatK and L in curcumin treated bleomycin induced mice show that expressions of CatK and L were increased at 7d, 14 d and 28 d. Real time PCR results (D) also show RNA levels of CatK were increased after curcumin and bleomycin treatment at the indicated time points. For each time point 9-10 mice were evaluated. All data represent means ± SE (* p < 0.05, all compared to bleomycin treated group only; Con: control, BLM: bleomycin, Cur: curcumin).
