From: Inhibition of TNFalpha in vivo prevents hyperoxia-mediated activation of caspase 3 in type II cells
Hyperoxia increases the expression of TNFRI but not of Fas in TIIcells. For the expression analysis of TNFRI and Fas the membrane fraction of freshly isolated TIIcells was prepared. TNFRI (A) and Fas (B) were visualised by Western blot technique, and their expression was densitometrically determined. Values of n = 6 independent experiments are given as means ± SD in arbitrary units (control = 1). Asterisk indicates a significant difference to control (p < 0.05).
