Effect of ligustrazin on α-SMA and Beclin1 protein expression levels in lung tissues during PQ-induced pulmonary fibrosis. Immunostaining was carried out on lung sections after antigen retrieval. a Representative immunostaining results, which showed α-SMA- and Beclin1-positive cells in the three treatment groups. b-c Statistical analyses of the densitometry data for α-SMA-positive and Beclin-positive cells in the three groups. All values are expressed as the mean ± SD. #p < 0.05 vs. the model group; **p < 0.01 vs. controls
