FIGURE 4.

Effects of casticin (CAS) on the expression of chemokines, inflammatory mediators, and cytokines in the lungs. Gene expression was determined using real-time RT-PCR with lung tissues from normal (N) and OVA-stimulated (OVA) mice with or without CAS and prednisolone (P) treatment. Fold-changes in expression were measured relative to β-actin expression (internal control). The data are presented as means ± SEM of three independent experiments (n = 8). ^∗p < 0.05, ^∗∗p < 0.01 compared to OVA control mice.
