Figure 9From: Delayed inflammatory mRNA and protein expression after spinal cord injury The effect of DPI on inflammatory markers after spinal cord injury. Inflammatory markers were compared in Vehicle (left image) and DPI-treated (right image) spinal cord injured tissue at 28 days post-injury. DPI resulted in significant reductions in p22PHOX (red, A, B), progranulin (red, D, E) and galectin-3 (green, G, H) immunolabeling. DAPI-labeled nuclei are shown for contrast in G, H. Immunolabeling was quantified and graphs are shown (C, F, I). Western blotting for progranulin was performed at 28 days post-injury, and revealed a significant decrease in progranulin protein expression in the DPI treated group (J). Representative samples of the western blot are shown. Size bar = 500 μM. Bars represent mean +/- SEM; *p < 0.05.Back to article page
