Figure Lengend Snippet: Downregulated FABP4 expression inhibits neutrophil apoptosis by activating the PI3K/AKT pathway. (A) WB analysis of expression levels of PDE4D, C1QB, RTN1, PRKDC, and FABP4 in neutrophils. (B) WB analysis of expression levels of caspase-3, caspase-8, caspase-9, BAX, BCL2, IL-10, IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and MPO in neutrophils treated with or without BMS-309403. (C) WB analysis of expression levels of caspase-3, caspase-8, caspase-9, BAX, BCL2, IL-10, IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and MPO in neutrophils treated with BMS-309403 and AZD5363. AKT: Protein kinase B; ARDS: Acute respiratory distress syndrome; AZD: AZD5363, an inhibitor of PI3K/AKT pathway; BAX: BCL2-associated X protein; BCL2: B-cell lymphoma 2; BM: BMS-309403, an inhibitor of FABP4; C1QB: Complement c1q B chain; FABP4: Fatty acid binding protein 4; IL: Interleukin; MPO: Myeloperoxidase; PDE4D: Primary antibodies against phosphodiesterase 4D; PI3K: Phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase; PRKDC: Protein kinase, DNA-activated, catalytic subunit; RTN1: Reticulon 1; TNF-α: Tumor necrosis factor-α; WB: Western blotting.
