TBI-induced upregulation of CCL2, CCR2, and p-p38 expression in the injured cortex of TBI rats. (a) Expression of CCL2 protein peaks on the third day after TBI, compared to sham group (n = 5/group). (b). Expression of CCR2 protein peaks on the third day after TBI, compared to sham group (n = 5/group). (c) The expression of p-p38 decreased after peaking on the first day after TBI (n = 3/group). Values are expressed as mean ± SEM. ***P < 0.001, **P < 0.01, *P < 0.05 vs. sham group. TBI, traumatic brain injury.
