Figure 3 Levels of Fas and Bcl2 proteins in dorsal lobe of right lung tissues quantified by Western blotting. β-actin was used as a loading control. The relative Fas (A) and Bcl2 (B) protein levels of lung tissues from the four groups were expressed as arbitrary units after normalization with β-actin (C: Fas; D: Bcl2). Data were considered significant at aP < 0.05 and highly significant at bP < 0.01 vs the control group. The level of Fas protein was up-regulated, while the level of Bcl2 protein was down-regulated in Group B vs Group A. However, in Group C the level of Fas proteins was down-regulated, and the level of Bcl2 proteins was up-regulated vs Group B (P < 0.01). In addition, the lower level of Fas protein and the higher level of Bcl2 protein was found in Group D compared with Group C (P < 0.05).
