Figure 5. Effect of fenofibrate on Cyp4fs in mouse brain cortex with and without JEV challenge.

Figure 5

(A) Constitutive expression of Cyp4fs in mouse brain cortex was assessed by qRT-PCR in BALB/c mice. Cyp4f15 was expressed maximally in mouse brain cortex. mRNA levels of all Cyp4fs are expressed relative to Cyp4f13 levels. (B) Treatment with fenofibrate significantly induced the expression of Cyp4f15 and 18 in mouse cortex, while Cyp4f13, 14 and 16 were unaltered. mRNA levels of all Cyp4fs are expressed relative to control Cyp4f13 levels. (C) JEV challenge significantly decreased Cyp4f15 but increased Cyp4f18 and Cyp4f14 was unaltered. Pretreatment with fenofibrate abolished JEV mediated decrease of Cyp4f15 and expression of both Cyp4f15 and 18 were enhanced. mRNA levels for all treatments are expressed relative to controls (nā€Š=ā€Š6 per group, *and #p<0.05).
