Effects of EP4 receptor on the levels of inflammatory cytokines after SAH. RT-qPCR analysis showed EP4 activation by AE1-329 reduced the mRNA expression of TNF-a IL-1β and IL-6 while inhibition of EP4 by AE3-208 increased the mRNA expression (a, c, e). Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay showed activation of EP4 by AE1-329 attenuated the levels of inflammatory cytokines while inhibition of EP4 by AE3-208 showed opposite effects (b, d, f). Data were expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 8, ###p < 0.001 vs. Sham, *p < 0.05 vs. SAH treated with vehicle, **p < 0.01 vs. SAH treated with vehicle, ***p < 0.001 vs. SAH treated with vehicle)
