Figure 6. Expression of CXCL1 (A), iNOS (B), PAFR (C), and sPLA2 (D) mRNA in mice subjected to a model of NEC.

Figure 6

mRNA levels were quantified by RT-PCR in the ileum of wild-type and PAF-AH−/− mice subjected to our model of NEC using 1×104 bacterial load of Serratia marcescens and Streptococcus viridans. PAF-AH−/− expressed higher levels of mRNA for CXCL1 (*p<0.05; t-test), iNOS (*p<0.05; t-test) and sPLA2 (*p<0.05; t-test). In contrast, we detected no genotype-or time-of-death-dependent differences in PAFR expression.
