Figure 7(A) Female C57BL/6J mice (n=3 per group) were put in normoxia or hypoxia for 24h, injected with PBS or DEX (10 mg/kg) and 2h later, indicated organs were isolated and gene expression was measured via RT-qPCR. Data information: All bars represent mean ± SEM. P-values were calculated using two-way ANOVA followed by post-hoc Šídák's multiple comparisons test to correct for multiple testing during the pairwise multiple comparisons, except if otherwise stated. Survival curves were analysed with Fisher's exact test. ****P<0.0001, ***P<0.001, **P<0.01, *P≤0.05. (B) LPS LD100 dose-response in female C57BL/6J mice injected with indicated LPS doses after 24h hypoxia. During the follow-up of lethality, mice remained under hypoxic conditions. N-values are indicated in the legend. (C Organ damage parameters were determined in the plasma of female C57BL/6J mice injected with 14.5 mg/kg LPS (normoxia) or 5 mg/kg LPS (hypoxia) 6h and 2h after LPS injection, respectively. N=4-5 per group. Data information: All bars represent mean ± SEM. P-values were calculated using two-way ANOVA followed by post-hoc Šídák's multiple comparisons test to correct for multiple testing during the pairwise multiple comparisons, except if otherwise stated. Survival curves were analysed with Fisher's exact test. ****P<0.0001, ***P<0.001, **P<0.01, *P≤0.05. D) GC levels were determined in the plasma of female C57BL/6J mice injected with 14.5 mg/kg LPS (normoxia) or 5 mg/kg LPS (hypoxia) 6h and 2h after LPS injection, respectively. N=4-5 per group. Data information: All bars represent mean ± SEM.

(E) Female C57BL/6J mice were injected with 14.5 mg/kg LPS (normoxia) or 5 mg/kg LPS (hypoxia) after 24h normoxia or hypoxia. Liver was isolated 6h after injected and typical GRE genes were measured via RT-qPCR. N=4-5 per group. (F) Female ADX mice were put in normoxia or hypoxia for 24h, injected i.p. with PBS or DEX (10 mg/kg) and 2h later, liver was isolated for RT-qPCR analyses of typical GRE genes. N=3-4 per group. Data information: All bars represent mean ± SEM. P-values were calculated using two-way ANOVA followed by post-hoc Šídák's multiple comparisons test to correct for multiple testing during the pairwise multiple comparisons, except if otherwise stated. Survival curves were analysed with Fisher's exact test. ****P<0.0001, ***P<0.001, **P<0.01, *P≤0.05. (G) Female C57BL/6J mice were injected with 14.5 mg/kg LPS (normoxia) or 5 mg/kg LPS (hypoxia) after 24h normoxia or hypoxia, with or without pre-treatment with 10 mg/kg DEX 1h before LPS injection. During the follow-up of lethality, mice remained under normoxic or hypoxic conditions. Mice in normoxia: black circles (LPS), black squares (DEX-LPS); mice in hypoxia: white circles (LPS), white squares (DEX-LPS). (H) Female ADX mice were injected with 0.05 mg/kg LPS after 24h normoxia or hypoxia, , with or without 10 mg/kg DEX pre-treatment 1h before LPS injection. During the follow-up of lethality, mice remained under normoxic or hypoxic conditions. ADX mice in normoxia: black circles (LPS), black squares (DEX-LPS); ADX mice in hypoxia: white circles (LPS), white squares (DEX-LPS).
