Effects of vagotomy or α7nAChR knockout on p-Akt1+VE-cadherin+ cells in pneumonia at 2 dpi. a Immunofluorescent images of α7nAChR and p-Akt1 expression in the bone marrow cells. b Flow cytometry analysis of p-Akt1+ cells in the bone marrow from wild-type and α7nAChR knockout mice with pneumonia at 2 dpi. c Immunofluorescence analysis of the coexpression of p-Akt1 and VE-cadherin in the bone marrow from sham and vagotomized pneumonia mice at 2 dpi. d Immunofluorescence analysis of the coexpression of p-Akt1 and VE-cadherin in the bone marrow from saline- and nicotine-treated pneumonia mice at 2 dpi
