Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 7. Effects of aged human Igfbp2 transgenic mice challenged with bleomycin treatment (A) Line plot showing the change in body weights of aged (36 weeks) WT and human Igfbp2 transgenic (Tg) mice subjected to intratracheal administration of bleomycin treatment (0.75 U/kg bodyweight) (n = 7 Igfbp2 fx/fx; n = 7 Igfbp2 Tg). ***p < 0.001 and **p < 0.01, two-way ANOVA. (B) Sirius red (top)- or Mason’s trichrome (middle)-stained lung sections and whole-lung images (trichrome; below) of aged Igfbp2 fx/fx and human Igfbp2 Tg mice 28 days after intratracheal administration of bleomycin treatment. Scale bars, 50 mm (top and middle) and 1 mm (below) (n = 8 Igfbp2 fx/fx; n = 8 Igfbp2 Tg). (C) Total lung collagen content measured by hydroxyproline assay in aged Igfbp2 fx/fx and human Igfbp2 Tg mice 28 days after intratracheal administration of bleomycin treatment (n = 4 Igfbp2 fx/fx; n = 8 Igfbp2 Tg). **p < 0.01 and *p < 0.05, one way ANOVA with Tukey’s post-hoc test. (D) Western blot for the expression of IGFBP2, P21, collagen-I, fibronectin, and vimentin (n = 6 Igfbp2 fx/fx; n = 8 Igfbp2 Tg). (E) qPCR analysis for mRNA expression of tumor necrosis factor a (TNF-a), IL-1b, MCP-1, IL-6, STAT3, STAT6, and IL-4 in aged WT and human Igfbp2 Tg mice 14 days after intratracheal administration of bleomycin. Each sample is obtained from 4 mice lungs (n = 6 Igfbp2 fx/fx; n = 6 Igfbp2 Tg). ****p < 0.0001, ***p < 0.001, **p < 0.01, and *p < 0.05. Student’s unpaired two-tailed t test. (F) Representative double-color immunohistochemistry-stained lung images of SPC (green) and phospho-H2AX (brown) expression from aged Igfbp2 fx/fx and Igfbp2 Tg mice 28 days after bleomycin injury. Black arrowheads indicate the double-positive AEC2 cells. Scale bars, 10 mm. (G) Bar graph showing the percentages of double-positive p-H2AX and SPC AEC2 cells that were quantified. Data are mean ± SEM. NS, not significant; ****p < 0.001, one way ANOVA with Tukey’s post-hoc test. (H) Schema represents molecular regulation of IGFBP2 signaling involving senescence in the AEC2 cells of the aged lung.
