Effects of unloaded FNPs, resveratrol, RL-FNPs, and dexamethasone on colonic gene expression, in TNBS rat colitis, of the cytokines (A) IL-1β, (B) IL-6, (C) TNF-α, and (D) IL-12, analyzed by real-time PCR.

Notes: PCR data are expressed as mean ± SEM (n=10). Groups with a different letter (a–d) differ statistically (P<0.05).

Abbreviations: Dex, dexamethasone; FNP, silk fibroin nanoparticle; IL, interleukin; PCR, polymerase chain reaction; Resv, resveratrol; RL-FNP, resveratrol-loaded silk fibroin nanoparticle; SEM, standard error of the mean; TNBS, trinitrobenzene sulphonic acid; TNF, tumor necrosis factor.
