Figure 6

Expression of MMP-12 and MIP-3α RNA in lungs upon air or cigarette smoke exposure. (A) MMP-12 and (B) MIP-3α RNA expression in lung tissue of wild type mice and scid mice to air or cigarette smoke (CS) exposure for 1 month (air-exposed mice: open bar, CS-exposed mice: closed bar). RT-PCR results are expressed as a ratio target mRNA with hprt (hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyl transferase) mRNA (mean ± SEM, n = 5 animals per group, * p < 0.05 and ** p < 0.01). MMP-12: matrix metalloproteinase-12; MIP-3α: Macrophage Inflammatory Protein-3α.
