Figure 8From: PPAR Gamma agonists regulate tobacco smoke-induced toll like receptor 4 expression in alveolar macrophagesThe protein expressions of TLR2, TLR4 and PPARγ in AMs. AMs extracted from normal rats and were treated with different concentrations of CSE for 12 hrs in vitro. The protein expression was determined by western blotting. a: Representative Western blot of TLR2, TLR4, PPARγ and actin. Image analysis of PPARγ (b), TLR4 (c) and TLR2 (d) determined by densitometry. The results are expressed as the mean ± SD (n = 3). *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01 compared with the control group.Back to article page
