Anti-inflammatory mechanisms of purpurin against ischemic damage in gerbils. A Levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines were measured 6 h and 4 days after ischemia in the gerbil hippocampus of control, vehicle, and 6 mg/kg purpurin groups (n = 5 per group). B Microglia and astrocytes were visualized to show the morphological changes after ischemia in the CA1 region of the control, vehicle, and purpurin groups with Iba-1 and GFAP immunohistochemical staining, respectively. In addition, NF-κB immunohistochemical staining was conducted in the hippocampal CA1 region. SO, stratum oriens; SP, stratum pyramidale; SR, stratum radiatum. Scale bar = 50 μm. Optical density was measured and expressed as a percentage of the value vs. control group (n = 5 per group). Data are expressed as mean value ± standard deviation and were analyzed using one-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni’s post hoc test (ap < 0.05, significantly different from the control group; bp < 0.05, significantly different from the vehicle group; cp < 0.05, significantly different from the group 6 h after ischemia)
