Ultrasound (US) blunts the IRI-induced increases in renal mRNA expression of IL-6 and MIP2. Mice were exposed to US 24 hours before IRI (26 minutes of ischemia). Then 24 hours after IRI, kidney samples were assayed for mRNA expression of key chemokines/cytokines by real-time PCR. Only IL-6 and MIP2 (CXCL2) expression (levels relative to sham) differed between the IRI and US plus IRI groups. n=13–14. $P=0.003; #P=0.02.
