Figure 3. IL-23-induced gene expression profile shifts towards recovery with TLR antagonism.

Figure 3

A. Differences in gene expression in naïve, IL-23, IL-23+IMO-3100 and IL-23+IMO-8400 treated mice were analyzed using principal component analysis. Partial normalization of gene expression patterns in the IL-23-induced mouse model was seen following treatment with TLR antagonists, with IMO-8400 exerting a slightly greater effect. B. IMO-8400 modulated 10% more of the IL-23 altered genes compared to IMO-3100, indicating additive effects of TLR8 antagonism in addition to TLR7 and 9. C. Shifts in gene expression profiles for IL-23 treated mice towards naïve mice following treatment with TLR antagonists are displayed in heatmap. Of the genes that shifted towards recovery with TLR antagonism, a greater proportion consisted of shared human and mouse genes rather than those that were unique murine genes.
