Figure 3. mRNA expression of MMPs in rat brain.

Figure 3

mRNA expression of Mmp2 (A), Mmp3 (B), Mmp9 (C), and Mmp14 (D) in the DG, CA1, and PHC of post-SE rats sacrificed at different time points after SE, each corresponding to the phases of epileptogenesis: the acute phase (1 day after SE, n = 5), the latent phase (1 week after SE, absence of electrographic seizures, n = 6) and the chronic phase (3.5 months after SE, recurrent spontaneous electrographic seizures are evident, n = 5).*P < 0.05; **P < 0.01, Mann-Whitney U test. Dots represent the individual rats, while histograms indicate group mean + SEM.
