THBS1 and acute respiratory distress syndrome: Figure 5(m) shows the basal level of staining in normal mice without any LPS treatment. The bar graphs in Figure 5(n) represent the normalized dye leakage in the different experimental conditions. Similarly, we assessed the effects of TSP overexpression on pulmonary edema by measuring the W/D ratio of lungs in the ARDS mice. As shown in Figure 4(d), TSP-2 overexpression reduced the W/D ratio, while TSP-1 overexpression had similar effects compared to LPS treatment alone.
