Figure 4. Tetracycline down-regulating the expressions of mRNA and protein of cytokines.

Figure 4

The mRNA and protein were detected by ELISA and real time PCR respectively. (A) Both tetracycline and 3-MA significantly decreased the levels of TNF-α. (B) IL6 was significantly decreased by tetracycline and 3-MA. (C) Tetracycline down-regulated mRNA expressions of TNF-α. (B) The mRNA level of IL6 in the brain was inhibited by tetracycline and 3-MA. Bars represent mean±SD (n = 6); *P<0.05 vs. control group.
