Murine lung transcripts during soluble egg antigen (SEA)-induced allergic asthma and bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in Wildtype, IL-13Ra1 and IL-13Ra2 deficient mice sensitized and challenged

ABSTRACT: Transcriptional profiling of mouse lungs by comparing PBS and saline treated lungs with SEA and bleomycin treated lungs, respectively. Mice strains used in this study include wild type (C57BL/6), IL-13Ra1 and IL-13Ra2 deficient mice. In mouse model of allergic asthma, mice were sensitized twice (day0 and day14) by i.p. injection of 10 µg of SEA. On days 28 and 31 mice were anesthetized with a mixture of xylazine and ketamine and given an intratracheal (I.T) airway challenge with 10 µg of SEA. Mice were sacrificed 24 h after the final airway challenge (day 32) and lungs were collected for RNA preparation. Biological replicates include 5 PBS treated and 5 SEA treated mice. In bleomycin-induced fibrosis odel, mice were anaesthetized with a xylazine and ketamine cocktail and given 0.15 U bleom
