Gene expressions and protein levels in the lungs from PPE-treated mice. Gene expression in the lungs and protein levels in the BALF during PPE treatment were assessed using qRT-PCR or ELISA. (A) MMP-12 mRNA, (B) IL-33 mRNA, (C) MMP-12 protein, and (D) IL-33 protein. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 3–4). *p < 0.05 by the Mann–Whitney U test
