Herbal Formula, PM014, Attenuates Lung Inflammation in a Murine Model of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Figure 6

Effect of PM014 on lung inflammation in elastase/LPS-exposed mice. (a) Experimental plan of repeated elastase and LPS exposure. (b) Effect of PM014 on immune cell profiles in BAL fluid. The numbers of neutrophils, macrophages, lymphocytes, and total cells were determined in BAL fluid. (c) The levels of IL-6 and TNF-α in BAL fluid were determined by ELISA. PPE: porcine pancreatic elastase, LPS: lipopolysaccharide. Data are expressed as the mean number of cells ± SEM (*𝑃<0.05, **𝑃<0.01 versus LPS; 𝑛=5-6).
