Figure Lengend Snippet: H 2 activates AHR and its downstream molecule CPEB4, thereby reducing endoplasmic reticulum stress. (A) Predicted downstream regulators of AHR are presented. (B) Immunohistochemical detection of AHR activation and CPEB4 expression in the lung tissue is shown, 60×, scale bar = 25 µm, AHR activation (phosphorylated form) is mainly enriched in the alveolar epithelial cell nuclei, while CPEB4 is highly expressed in the cytoplasm and perinuclear regions. (C–E) IOD quantitative analysis of the protein expression of p-AHR, AHR, and CPEB4. (F–H) Protein expression of p-AHR, AHR, CPEB4, p-IRE1α, IRE1α, and XBP1 was assessed by western blotting on days 3, 7, and 14, and the protein bands were quantified. Data are presented as mean ± SD. ( n = 3), * P < 0.05.
