Figure 8. Effect of Argon inhalation on retinal expression of NF-κB mRNA and NF-κB phosphorylation.

Figure 8

(A) Fold induction of NF-κB mRNA expression after time-dependent inhalation of Argon 75 Vol% in ischemic retinal tissue compared to GAPDH in relation to the corresponding non-ischemic retinae analyzed by RT-PCR (n = 8; data are mean±SD; **  = p<0.01 IRI vs. IRI+Argon at all time points). (B) Densitometric analysis of n = 8 western blots for NF-κB phosphorylation after time-dependent inhalation of Argon 75 Vol% (data are mean±SD; ***  = p<0.01 IRI vs. IRI+Argon immediately and at 1.5 h delayed treatment) and representative western blot image (n = 8) showing the suppression of retinal NF-κB phosphorylation compared to total NF-κB expression.
