CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ Regulatory T Cells Depletion May Attenuate the Development of Silica-Induced Lung Fibrosis in Mice
Figure 5
Treg cells affect the Th1/Th2 balance in the mice model of silica-induced lung fibrosis.
Typical Th1 (IL-2) (A) and Th2 (IL-4)(B) cytokines were assayed by realtime RT-PCR by using -△△Ct method. (n = 5) (*, as compare with the saline control group, P<0.05; △, as compare with the silica group, P<0.05; #, as compare with 7day of the same group, P<0.05).
