LILRB4-deficient mice enhanced IL-10 mRNA expression. a We administered PBS or elastase to wild-type mice and compared IL-10 (left), IL-1β (middle) and TNF-α (right) mRNA expressions. N = 6 per groups. The reference sample was one of the PBS-treated control samples. b Comparison of IL-10 (left), IL-1β (middle) and TNF-α (right) mRNA expressions between wild-type and LILRB4−/− mice on day 7 after elastase administration. N = 13 per groups. The reference sample was one of the wild-type samples. c Comparison of IL-10 (left), IL-1β (middle) and TNF-α (right) mRNA expressions between LILRB4-positive IMs and LILRB4-negative IMs on day 7 after elastase administration. N = 6 per groups. The reference sample was one of the wild-type samples. Data are presented as median with a dot for each sample and analyzed by Mann–Whitney U test. WT wild-type mice, KO LILRB4-deficient mice, IM interstitial macrophages
