Figure Lengend Snippet: Administration of PNSC928 significantly improve the inflammatory outcomes of ARDS mice. (A) A schematic representation illustrating PNSC928 administration. (B-G) Serum concentrations of proinflammatory cytokines by ELISA assays. (B) IL-1β, (C) IL-6, (D) IL-15, (E) IL-18, (F) TNF-α, and (G) IFN-γ. (H ) Body weights of mice measured at 0, 1, and 2 days. (I) pO 2 levels in mice measured at 0, 1, and 2 days. (J) Effects of PNSC928 on the expression levels of IL-1B, IL-6, IL-15, IL-18, TNFA, and IFNG. (K) Effects of PNSC928 on the expression levels of S100A8, CtBP2, ICAM1, SPP1, FBN1, and SPSB1. (L) Representative H&E staining images of lung from control, ARDS, PNSC928 groups of mice. Bars = 100 μm. (M) Quantification of histological scores. Images in (L) were quantified. n = 3 for each experiment. ns: no significant difference. * P < 0.05; ** P < 0.01; *** P < 0.001
Article Snippet: To assess the impact of CtBP2, p300, NF-κB inhibitors, and PNSC928 on ARDS progression, mice were further categorized post-4 h LPS administration into different groups: ARDS, ARDS + MTOB (700 mg/kg; MedChemExpress; Monmouth Junction, NJ; #HY-135,046), ARDS + NSC95397 (1.5 mg/kg; MedChemExpress; #HY-108,543), ARDS + C646 (10 mg/kg; MedChemExpress; #HY-13,823), ARDS + A-485 (50 mg/kg; MedChemExpress; #HY-107,455), ARDS + TPCA1 (10 mg/kg; MedChemExpress; #HY-10,074), ARDS + BOT64 (50 mg/kg; MedChemExpress; #HY-136,741), and ARDS + PNSC928 (20 mg/kg).
