The level of pro‐inflammatory cytokines was correlated with the expression of Bromodomain‐containing protein 4 (BRD4). (A, B, C) The levels of TNF‐α, IL‐1β and IL‐6 were detected using ELISA in damaged spinal cord at different time points after spinal cord injury (SCI). (D, E) Representative images of western blots and quantification data of BRD4 expression at different time points after traumatic SCI. (F, G) Representative western blots and quantification analysis of BRD4 expression in HAPI microglia cells treated with TNF‐α (50 ng/mL), IL‐1β (50 ng/mL) and IL‐6 (25 ng/mL) for 24 h. All experiments were performed as mean ± SD of three times in duplicates. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01
