Fig. 6. Effect of Wnt agonist on the proinflammatory cytokine expression and neutrophil infiltration into the liver after hepatic I/R.

Fig. 6

Serum and liver tissues were harvested 24 h after reperfusion from the sham, vehicle, and Wnt agonist-treated (WntAg) groups. (A) Serum IL-6 levels were determined by ELISA. (B) Liver tissue IL-6 mRNA expression was determined by real time RT-PCR analysis. IL-6 expression levels were normalized to β-actin. The value in sham group is designated as 1 for comparison. (C) Liver tissue myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, a marker for neutrophil infiltration, was determined spectrophotometrically. Data presented as means ± SE (n=4-6/group) and compared by one-way ANOVA and SNK method;*P > 0.05 vs. Sham; #P > 0.05 vs. Vehicle.
