Figure Lengend Snippet: Microarray was performed in ARRB1 depleted and nicotine stimulated A549 cells Nicotine induced and ARRB1 dependent genes from the microarray data were analyzed. We identified differentially regulated genes that were regulated by nicotine in a β-arrestin-1 dependent fashion and top 10 up/down regulated genes from the list were used for prognosis prediction. Assessment of the expression of these genes for smoking revealed that SCF (highlighted in red) strongly differentiated smokers from non-smokers implying an important role of this gene in lung carcinogenesis induced by smoking

Figure Lengend Snippet: ENO1 is upregulated in fibrotic lungs from human and bleomycin-treated mice. (A, B) IHC staining of ENO1 was performed in commercially available human normal (n = 3) and fibrosis (n = 3) lung FFPE sections. (C, D) After intratracheal injection of bleomycin (BLM, 3 mg/kg) (n = 7) or PBS vehicle control (Sham) (n = 4), the mouse lungs were harvested on day 21 for preparation of FFPE sections and subjected to IHC staining of ENO1. Representative pictures (A, C) and quantitative results of ENO1-stained positive areas were shown (B, D) . After intratracheal injection of bleomycin (BLM, 3 mg/kg) (n = 4) or PBS vehicle control (Sham) (n = 4), the mouse lungs were harvested on day 21 for preparation of lysates and subjected to Western blotting for ENO1 (E) and the relative densitometry was shown below the representative blot after GAPDH normalization. Cropped blots were shown, and supplementary Fig. presented the full-length blots. Quantitative results were shown by fold change after bleomycin treatment (F) . Scale bar, 100 µM. * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01. (A, B) One experiment was performed and each picture or data point was from one human subject. (C-F) Data were representative for two independent experiments. Each picture, data point, or protein band was from one mouse except ( F ) was shown as mean ± SD

Figure Lengend Snippet: Blocking ENO1 ameliorates lung fibrosis in bleomycin-treated mice. After intratracheal injection of 3 mg/kg bleomycin (BLM) (day 0), mice were treated with ENO1 Ab HL217 (10 mg/kg) intravenously on a 6-day interval from day 1. Mouse lungs were harvested on day 14 or 21 for preparation of FFPE sections and subjected to H&E staining (A) and Masson’s trichrome staining (B) . Representative pictures on day 21 (A, B) and quantitative results of Ashcroft score on day 21 (C) and inflammation score on day 14 (D) were shown. Body weight change (E) , ratio of lung weight versus body weight (F) , collagen content of the lungs (G) , and levels of TGF-β in BALF (H) were shown. Scale bar, 100 µM. * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001. Data were representative for two independent experiments. Each picture or data point was from one mouse except (E) was shown as mean ± SEM
