Mechanistic Insights into Bleomycin-Induced Lung Injury: A Comparative Study of WT and DKO Models
This study investigates the differential responses of wild-type (WT) and double knockout (DKO) mouse models to bleomycin-induced lung injury. Using fluorescent tagging (FITC, APC, PE), we analyze the expression of key markers SP-C and AQP-5 at day 21 post-treatment. Flow cytometry was employed to assess immune cell populations, including GR-1, F4/80, CD45, CD19, and CD3. Our findings provide insight into the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying lung fibrosis and assess the roles of oxidative stress (NOX) in mediating damage and repair processes.
