We observed a gradual increase in total protein levels (Supplementary Fig. S5A) and an early (6 h) high number of neutrophils (Supplementary Fig. S5B) in the bronchoalveolar-lavage fluid (BALF) of Ezr-KOm mice in response to LPS compared with WT, suggesting increased lung inflammation in Ezr-KOm mice. The gene discussed is EZR; the disease is inflammatory response.
