Figure Lengend Snippet: SH3GLB1 deficiency protects against inflammation in ALI. (A) Gene expression of SH3GLB1 high AMs in cohort 1 (n=3) represented in a volcano plot, with the fold change (log2) expressed as the level in sham versus sea water-ALI subjects on the x-axis and the P-value on the y-axis (log10). Significantly (P<0.05) regulated genes are marked in colors: red indicates upregulated genes and blue indicates downregulated genes in ALI. (B) Representative GO analysis of SH3GLB1 high AMs. (C) Representative KEGG analysis of SH3GLB1 high AMs. (D) Representative hematoxylin and eosin staining of lung tissues (scale bars, 200 µ m). (E) Representative severity scores of lung injury (n=3). Representative ELISA results showing the levels of inflammatory factors, including (F) TNFα, (G) IL-6 and (H) IL-1β, in the BALF (n=6). (I-K) Representative ELISA analysis of the levels of inflammatory factors, including (I) IL-1β, (J) IL-6 and (K) TNFα, in the serum (n=6). (L) Representative western blots of SH3GLB1 protein levels in NC or SH3GLB1-KD BMDMs. (M) Relative SH3GLB1 mRNA levels in (NC or SH3GLB1-KD BMDMs. n=6/group. Representative ELISA analysis of the levels of inflammatory factors, including IL-1β, IL-6 and TNFα, in the supernatants of cells treated with (N) LPS or (O) seawater, (n=3).The data are presented as the means ± SEMs; P<0.05 was considered to indicate statistical significance.
