Relative quantification comparisons of SP-A1 (A), SP-A2 (B), and SP-D (C) in ULTR treated with 5, 10 and 20 μg/ml of rhSPD after 6 and 12h (*p<0.05, **p<0.01, ***p<0.001).

Abstract

<p>rhSP-D treatments resulted in an increase of SP-A1, SP-A2 and SP-D mRNA expression at 6 h at 5 and 10 μg/ml. The effect was inverted at 12 h, with rhSP-D leading to a decrease in the expression of the above genes (n = 3).</p
