Lung tissues were weighed, homogenized, and subjected to centrifugation maintaining at 4°C. Tissue supernatants were stored at -80°C in aliquots or used immediately to estimate cytokine expression. Pro-inflammatory cytokines including TNF-α and IL-1β were evaluated for their expression in lung tissues using commercially available ELISA kits (eBioscience, TNF-α Catalogue No-50-173-67; IL-1β Catalogue No-50-112-8807).
