CD45 and proinflammatory cytokine expression after LP treatment. A, First, proinflammatory cytokine mRNA expression in allografts vs contralateral kidneys after NA treatment was investigated and showed significant upregulation of Ccl2 and TNF-α, expression in the allografts at d 7. The other investigated cytokines IL-6, CXCL2, IL1-β, and IL10 did not differ compared with the healthy control kidney. B, Cd45 messenger RNA expression in the allograft was significantly reduced by LP treatment compared with NA or P. Surprisingly, the expression of Ccl2 and TNF-a was similar in the allografts (mean ± SD. One-way analysis of variance with a Tukey multiple comparisons test. NA = no additional treatment; N = 8, P = prednisolone; N = 10, LP = liposomal prednisolone; N = 8). IL, interleukin; TNF, tumor necrosis factor.
