Figure 5

Levels of MMPs in lungs of ApoE-/-mice exposed to CS. The levels of MMP-9 and MMP-12 were determined in lungs of air- and CS-exposed WT and ApoE-/- mice by immunoblotting (A). Histograms (B and C) represent mean ± SEM (n = 3-4 per group). **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, significant compared with corresponding air-exposed mice. +P < 0.05, ++P < 0.01, significant compared with CS-exposed WT mice. #P < 0.05, significant compared with air-exposed WT mice.
