Effect of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and Pyl A on the pro-inflammatory cytokines in the myometrium. Dams were killed at 4.5 hr post intrauterine injection of 20 µg LPS/250 µg Pyl A and mRNA and protein was extracted from the myometrium and analysed by PCR or ELISA (n = 3). With co-injection of LPS and Pyl A, interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) mRNA were significantly increased (a) as well as protein levels of interleukin-12 (IL-12), IL-1β and KC-GRO (b). V = vehicle, PA = Pyl A. For statistical analysis, one-way analysis of variance with Bonferroni's multiple comparison's test was used; *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01.
