Relative mRNA expression of genes encoding cytokines' mediators: TNF-α, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (A); IL-1β, interleukin-1 beta (B); IL-6, interleukin-6 (C); IL-18, interleukin-8 (D); and IL-10, interleukin-10 (E) on day 5 post-treatment in response to the therapeutic effect of a hydrogel loaded with pomegranate peel extract-hyaluronic acid-silver nanoparticles (PPE-HA-AgNPs) at different concentrations for 15 days in cutaneous wounds in rats experimentally infected with C. albicans. Control: C. albicans infected and non-treated rats, commercial cream: ketoconazole cream (2%), PEE-HA-AgNPsI: 25% concentration of the formulated nanocomposite, PPE-HA-AgNPsII: 50% concentration of the formulated nanocomposite, PPE-HA-AgNPsIII: full concentration of the formulated nanocomposite. a–eMean values with distinct letters in the same column changed significantly (p < 0.05).
