Figure 5. Mito-CP attenuates cisplatin-induced inflammation.
Cisplatin significantly increased mRNA expression of pro-inflammatory chemokines MCP-1 (Panel A), MIP-1α and MIP-2 (Panel B), myeloperoxidase staining and activity (Panels C and D), adhesion molecule ICAM-1 and pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF-α mRNA expressions (Panels E and F) in the kidneys 72 h following its administration to mice, indicating enhanced inflammatory response. These changes could be largely prevented by treatment with Mito-CP. Results are mean±S.E.M. of 6–16/group. *P<0.05 Vehicle; #P<0.05 vs. Cisplatin.
