  1. Inflammatory mediators mRNA levels are assessed by RT-PCR assay and normalized to GAPDH-expression
  2. *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01 indicates significant differences compared with Control samples according to one-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni post-hoc analysis
  3. #P < 0.05 indicates significant differences compared with Saline + CFA samples according to one-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni post-hoc analysis
