Modified Pulsatilla decoction treatment significantly reduces the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines. (A) mRNA expression levels of IL-5 and IL-13 in colon tissues from oxazolone-induced colitis mice, following treatment with or without modified Pulsatilla decoction or SASP, were determined using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis. (B) Protein levels of IL-5 and IL-13 in colon tissues from oxazolone-induced colitis mice, following treatment with or without modified Pulsatilla decoction or SASP, were determined using ELISA. Data are expressed as the mean ± standard deviation and are representative of three independent experiments. *P<0.05, **P<0.01 vs. the control group. PBS, phosphate-buffered saline; SASP, sulfasalazine; IL, interleukin.
