    Cathepsin K transgenic mice (black bars) and wild-type mice (white bars) were administered either saline or bleomycin for 1, 2, 3, and 4 weeks

    Subsequently, mice were euthanized and lungs were lavaged as described in Materials and Methods. Total BAL fluid cell numbers (A), alveolar macrophages (B), exudate macrophages (C), neutrophils (D) and lymphocytes (E) were ascertained from Pappenheim-stained cytospin preparations of BAL fluid. The data are shown as mean ± SD of at least n = 5 mice per group and time point. No statistical significances were noted between wild-type and Cathepsin K transgenic mice.<p><b>Copyright information:</b></p><p>Taken from "Overexpression of cathepsin K in mice decreases collagen deposition and lung resistance in response to bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis"</p><p>http://respiratory-research.com/content/9/1/54</p><p>Respiratory Research 2008;9(1):54-54.</p><p>Published online 18 Jul 2008</p><p>PMCID:PMC2490691.</p><p></p

    Nized and BAL cells (A, B), freshly isolated type II alveolar epithelial cells (A, C), lung homogenate (A, D), and concentrated BAL fluid supernatant (E) were prepared for analysis of cath K mRNA by real-time RT-PCR (A) and western blotting (B-E). (A), data are given as fold change in cathepsin K mRNA of bleomycin-challenged cath K tg mice compared to wild-type mice. (F) Gelatin zymography employing concentrated BAL fluid protein from mock- or bleomycin-treated wild-type mice and cath K tg mice. Data are shown as mean ± SD of n = 3 determinations. (B-F), data represent at least n = 3–5 independent analyses. * indicates < 0.05 versus bleomycin-treated wild-type mice at day 14 post-treatment.<p><b>Copyright information:</b></p><p>Taken from "Overexpression of cathepsin K in mice decreases collagen deposition and lung resistance in response to bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis"</p><p>http://respiratory-research.com/content/9/1/54</p><p>Respiratory Research 2008;9(1):54-54.</p><p>Published online 18 Jul 2008</p><p>PMCID:PMC2490691.</p><p></p

    Ks. Subsequently, mice were euthanized and lungs were processed for quantitative assessment of collagen content by hydroxyproline assay, as described in Materials and Methods. The data are shown as mean ± SD of at least n = 10 mice per group and time point. * indicates < 0.05 compared to wild-type mice. + indicates significant increase (p < 0.05) compared to mock-treated wild-type mice.<p><b>Copyright information:</b></p><p>Taken from "Overexpression of cathepsin K in mice decreases collagen deposition and lung resistance in response to bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis"</p><p>http://respiratory-research.com/content/9/1/54</p><p>Respiratory Research 2008;9(1):54-54.</p><p>Published online 18 Jul 2008</p><p>PMCID:PMC2490691.</p><p></p
