Fig. 6From: Single-cell sequencing analysis fibrosis provides insights into the pathobiological cell types and cytokines of radiation-induced pulmonary fibrosisChanges in expression levels of the four cytokines in the irradiated and non-irradiated groups. (A) Assessment of areas of pulmonary fibrosis (H&E staining), intercellular and perivascular collagen deposition (Masson staining) in rats, n = 6; (B) ELISA showed upregulated cytokine expression in BESA-2B cells after ionizing radiation. (C) IHC staining of lung tissue showed higher levels of the four cytokines in the RIPF group than in controls. (*p < 0. 1, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001.)Back to article page
