Figure 4. Effects of TIIA on NF-κB activation at 24 h after SCI.

A basal expression of p-NF-κB and total NF-κB were detected by Western blot in the sham and sham/TIIA groups at 24 h after SCI, whereas NF-κB levels were increased after SCI. Treatment of TIIA (20 mg/kg) reduced the expression of NF-κB (A). The relative content of two types of NF-κB was counted (B). Bars represent means ± SEM. *p<0.05, **p<0.001 vs. sham group; ^# p<0.05 vs. SCI group.
