Fig. 4. Persistent pro-inflammatory microglia (PPM) gene expression in the midbrain during persistent neuroinflammation.
Male C57BL/6 mice received a single IP injection of LPS or saline and midbrain mRNA gene expression of PPM genes was assessed 7 days later. (A) Gzma, (B) C3, (C) Cd72, (D) Il2rg, (E) Cd69, (F) Cxcl10, (G) Ncr1, (H) Tlr2, (I)Sqstm1, (J) Tnfrsf17, (K) Cp, (L) Cd84, (M) Ccl15, (N) Apoe, (O) Anapc15, and (P) Grn mRNA levels were analyzed by qRT-PCR and normalized to Gapdh using the 2-ΔΔCT method. Data are reported as the mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01 when compared to control (n = 4–6).
