Effect of RPE treatment on the protein expression of FSTL1 and α-SMA in the lung. Immunohistochemistry was performed on lung sections after antigen retrieval with Retrievagen on day 14 after RPE treatment. a Representative immunostaining (brown) patterns for FSTL1 and α-SMA are shown: FSTL1 staining (a, control group; b, model group; c, treatment group); α-SMA staining (d, control group; e, model group; f, treatment group). b Statistical summary of the densitometric analyses of FSTL1 and α-SMA staining. Data are means ± SD. *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01 vs the control group; ##P < 0.01 and #P < 0.01 vs the model group
