Expression of TRPV2 in alveolar macrophages from bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid. BAL was performed to collect cells for Western blots. Representative western blots for TRPV2 expression in alveolar macrophages from non-smoke-exposed mice and from mice exposed to smoke for 2 months (a) and 6 months (b). (c and d) Bar graphs show the mean + standard error (n = 4–6 mice per group) of TRPV2 protein levels, relative to control values (non-smoked mice) that were set at 1.0. *p < 0.05
