GNF-2 attenuates STZ-induced neuroinflammation. (A) The expression of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 mRNAs in the spinal cord tissues after GNF-2 and STZ injection was evaluated by conventional RT-PCR. (B) Quantification for mRNA expression is displayed as the fold increase of gene expression normalized to Gapdh. (C,D) Immunoreactivity (IR) of Iba-1 and GFAP was increased in the spinal cord (L4-6) of LPS-injected mice, whereas GNF-2 administration significantly attenuated this increase in IR. (E,F) Quantification for the relative intensity of Iba-1 and GFAP IR is presented adjacent to the microscopic images. p < 0.05 vs. vehicle-treated control animals; #p < 0.05 between the indicated groups; unpaired two-tailed Student’s t test; n = 3 for each group; data are represented as mean ± SEM. Scale bar, 100 μm.
