A : Collagen content (mg/lung) in lung from WT (blank bars) and MMP-12 -/- mice (solid bars), 14 days after intranasal administration of bleomycin (BLM) or saline vehicle (Control). B : α1 (I) collagen I mRNA analysis by real time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification. Results are presented as mean ± SEM. *: P < 0.05 compared to corresponding control. #: P < 0.05 compared to WT BLM. N = 4–9.
