Gene expression in the hearts of infected mice after BA5 or benznidazole treatment. Analysis of gene expression was performed by real-time qRT-PCR using cDNA samples prepared from mRNA extracted from hearts of naive and chronic Chagasic mice treated with vehicle (Saline), BA5 (10 mg/Kg) or Benznidazole (Bdz; 100 mg/Kg). (A) Tnfa, (B) Ifnɤ, (C) IL1b, (D) Tgfb, (E) Il10, (F) Lgals3, (G) FoxP3, (H) Tbet (I) Gata3 (J) Nos2, (K) Arg1 and (L) Chi3 gene expression. Values represent the means ± S.E.M. of 5 mice (naïve) or 10 mice (infected) per group. *P < 0.05 compared to vehicle-treated mice; #P < 0.05 compared to naive group. $P < 0.05 compared to benznidazole-treated group.
