MPLA inhibited radiation-induced EMT in lung tissues. A, Representative images showing the staining intensity of E-cadherin, Vimentin, and α-SMA in lung tissue sections at 1-week post-irradiation. B, Representative images displaying the staining intensity of E-cadherin, Vimentin, and α-SMA in lung tissue sections at 4-week post-irradiation. C, Representative images showing the staining intensity of E-cadherin, Vimentin, and α-SMA in lung tissue sections at 8-week post-irradiation. D, Representative images displaying the staining intensity of E-cadherin, Vimentin, and α-SMA in lung tissue sections at 16-week post-irradiation. E, The quantification analysis of E-cadherin-positive cells in lung tissues (one image per mice). F, The quantification analysis of Vimentin-positive cells in lung tissues (one image per mice). G, The quantification analysis of α- SMA positive cells in lung tissues (one image per mice). Data are shown as the means ± SEM, n = 3 mice per group. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001,****P < 0.0001
