Changes of cytokine levels in the brain and blood after MCAO.

Notes: Protein levels of cytokines after 1, 3, and 6 days post surgery were measured by Bio-Plex Multiplex Cytokine Assays (A) in the brain a. IL-1β protein concentration, b. MCP-1 protein concentration, c. TNF-α protein concentration and (B) in peripheral blood a. IL-1β protein concentration, b. MCP-1 protein concentration, c. TNF-α, protein concentration. (sham group: n=10 for baseline; MCAO group: n=12 for 1-day, n=9 for 3-day, n=10 for 6-day time points). *P<0.05 and **P<0.01 in comparison with the sham group; #P<0.05 and ##P<0.01 in comparison with the level on 1 day post MCAO.

Abbreviations: IL-1β, interleukin-1β; MCAO, middle cerebral artery occlusion; MCP-1, monocyte chemotactic protein-1; TNF-α, tumor necrosis factor-α.
