From: Systemic inflammation in early neonatal mice induces transient and lasting neurodegenerative effects
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge promotes differential expression of inflammatory biomarkers in the brain. Whole brain lysates of CD1 wild-type mice at 1 day post-lipopolysaccharide (LPS) administration were used to determine the activities of metalloproteinase(MMP)-9 and MMP-2 by gelatin zymography, alongside with the expression of toll-like receptor (TLR)-4, high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) and autotaxin (ATX) by western blot. Results are expressed as fold-change from animals without (W/O) LPS, and are mean ± SEM from at least four animals in each group. *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01 vs. W/O LPS.
