Neutrophil elastase inhibitor decreases the gene transcription of proinflammatory cytokines in the murine gingiva. Messenger RNA transcription levels of Il6, Il1b, and Cxcl1 in the palatal gingiva of mice from the indicated groups were determined by real-time PCR. Relative mRNA levels were normalized to those of Gapdh. Data are presented as the mean ± SD (n = 5 per group). The group means were compared using one-way analysis of variance with Tukey’s multiple comparison test. NE neutrophil elastase, SD standard deviation.
