GDF11 levels are accumulated in serum and lung in MCT rats. A GDF11 was measured by ELISA in the serum from rats. B GDF11 expression in lung was detected by Western blot, and GAPDH served as a loading control. C Representative immunohistochemistry of lung sections showing pulmonary arteries stained for GDF11 or CD31 in rats, scale bar is 20 μm. D Western blot analysis of trim63, fbx32, and foxo1 was assessed by Western blot, and protein expression levels were quantified by densitometry. Data are shown as mean ± SEM. Versus vehicle control, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, n = 8 rats/group
