Figure 5

The levels of inflammatory cytokines in rats following SCI. (a) ELISA detection of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-8 in the serum of sham-operated and SCI rats at days 1, 3, and 7 after surgery. (b) ELISA detection of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-8 in rat serum among SCI, miRNA-146a mimic, and miRNA-146a antagomir groups at days 1, 3, and 7 after surgery. (c) ELISA detection of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-8 in rat serum among SCI, miRNA-202-3p mimic, and miRNA-202-3p antagomir groups at days 1, 3, and 7 after surgery. by Student’s -test in (a); by one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s test in (b) and (c).
