a Kinetics of gilz mRNA expression in neutrophils from 2 representative controls and 2 representative ARDS patients. The number of serial blood samples obtained (every 2 days until extubation or death) is indicated (n = 2–9 per patient, depending on the patient). Some patients received hydrocortisone hemisuccinate (200 mg/day; steroid). Relative quantity of gilz mRNA was expressed as gilz expression level divided by the mean of gapdh and b2m levels. b Implication of corticoid therapy in gilz mRNA expression in all samples studied. Results are expressed as the relative quantity of gilz mRNA (mean ± standard error of the mean). *p < 0.05, Mann–Whitney test. c Implication of vasoactive agent administration in all samples studied. Results are expressed as the relative quantity of gilz mRNA (mean ± standard error of the mean). ARDS acute respiratory distress syndrome, GILZ glucocorticoid-induced leucine zipper
