Effects of activation of α7nAChR in cultured EPCs on pulmonary edema in E. coli pneumonia mice. a Morphology of cultured EPCs at d7 and d14. b Immunofluorescent detection of α7nAChR and VE-cadherin expression in the culture EPCs. Arrows indicate α7nAChR+VE-cadherin+ cells. c Flow cytometric analysis of Flk1 expression in cultured EPCs. d Effect of activation of α7nAChR in EPCs on lung water in E. coli pneumonia mice. One-way ANOVA, *P < 0.05, N = 4–6 in each group
