Figure 5. Treatment with 5-ASA after burn injury significantly reduces the observed increases in the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-18 and IL-6 back to that of sham levels one day after injury in small intestine IECs, with a trend toward reduction in the pro-inflammatory chemokine, KC, one day after injury.

Figure 5

IECs of the small intestine were harvested and cells were lysed for protein extraction. ELISAs on IL-18, IL-6, and KC were performed on the protein homogenate one day after injury and expressed as pg/mg protein. Values are mean ± SEM of 4-7 animals per group. *, p<0.05, **, p<0.001, all groups compared to sham saline by ANOVA and Tukey multiple comparison tests.
