Figure 6. Effects of Meth on cytokines (IL-6, TNF-α and iNOS) mRNA expression.

Figure 6

(A) Meth markedly increased IL-6 mRNA expression, while MgTx obviously inhibited IL-6 enhancement mediated by Meth. (B, C) Meth triggered a slight but not statistically significant increasing in TNF-α and iNOS mRNA level, and MgTx showed no obvious effects on TNF-α and iNOs mRNA when co-treated with Meth. Each data point represents mean±SD of mRNA levels from at least three separate experiments in which treatments were performed in triplicates.* and # indicate significant differences compared with the control and condition stimulated by Meth respectively (p<0.05 by ANOVA).
