Figure Lengend Snippet: Knockout of macrophage EPOR ameliorates pulmonary fibrosis in mice. (A) H&E staining was used to assess the degree of pulmonary pathological changes bar=625μm, n=4. (B) Masson staining was used to evaluate the degree of collagen deposition in the lungs. bar=625μm, n=4. (C) Quantification of lung hydroxyproline levels.n=4. (D) The protein level of EPOR in the lung was measured by western blot. n=3. *p<0.05, **p<0.01, ***p<0.001, ****p<0.0001. MΦ-EPORcko: Bleomycin-treated macrophage-specific EPOR knockout mice; EPOR-C: bleomycin-treated EPOR-KOloxp homozygous mice; α-SMA: α-smooth muscle actin; Col-1: collagen I.
