Liver cold preservation induce lung surfactant changes and acute lung injury in rat liver transplantation

Figure 5 Relative quantities of pulmonary phospholipids. A: Relative quantity of PC; B: Relative quantity of PE; C: Relative quantity of PI; D: Relative quantity of PS. With CPT prolonged, the levels of pulmonary phospholipids increased significantly, reaching a peak in the 120-min group, and then declined in the 180-min group. The use of PDTC could inhibit the expression of PE and PS, but could not observe significant effect in PC and PI. ^aP < 0.05 vs sham group; ^bP < 0.05 vs 45-min group; ^cP < 0.05 vs PDTC group; ^dP < 0.05 vs 120-min group. PDTC: Pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate; CPT: Cold preservation time; PC: Phosphatidylcholine; PE: Phosphatidylethanolamine; PI: Phosphatidylinositol; PS: Phosphatidylserine.
