15d-PGJ2-loaded NC reduce MSU-induced leukocyte recruitment and synovitis in a PPAR-γ-sensitive manner. Fifteen hours after MSU, knee joints were collected for: counting of total leukocytes (A), neutrophils (B), mononuclear cells (C), Histopathological analysis by HE staining to asses synovitis (D) (Original magnification 400x) by a total score of inflammatory cells per field (E), and determination of LysM-GFP+ neutrophil recruitment by confocal microscopy (F,G). Original magnification 200x. Panel F shows the percentagem of LysM-eGFP + fluorescence. Results are mean ± SEM, n = 6, two independent experiments (*p < 0.05 vs. control group; #p < 0.05 vs. vehicle mg/kg group, **p < 0.05 vs 15d-PGJ2-loaded NC. One-way ANOVA and post-test of Tukey).
