Figure 6. Effects of TIIA on the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines at 6 h after SCI.

Figure 6

The mRNA expression of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 was enhanced in the tissues from the SCI group, but treatment of TIIA reduced their mRNA expression (A–C). Compared to the sham and sham/TIIA groups, the protein level of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 was significantly up-regulated, whereas TIIA reduced the level of these proteins (D–F). Bars represent means ± SEM. *p<0.05, **p<0.001 vs. sham group; # p<0.05 vs. SCI group.
