Western blotting analysis of IκB, high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB-1), and elastin in lung tissue. a IκB. b HMGB-1. c Elastin. d Elastin mRNA. The lung samples of normal groups were selected randomly from the pooled samples of 9-week-old to 10-week-old rats. MCT2: rats at 2 weeks after monocrotaline injection; MCT3: rats at 3 weeks after monocrotaline injection; LV: low tidal volume (6 mL/kg); HV: high tidal volume (35 mL/kg). Average intensity of normal/LV was taken as 100%. Sample intensity was calculated as a percentage of the average (relative intensity). Bars indicate mean ± standard error. n = number of rats.
