Figure 1From: Silencing airway epithelial cell-derived hepcidin exacerbates sepsis-induced acute lung injury The expression of hepcidin in airway epithelial cells (AEC) was upregulated after cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) surgery. Hepcidin expression was examined by immunohistochemistry. A representative image is presented (magnification: ×400) and quantified data are shown. n = 6 mice/group. *P <0.005.Back to article page
