Figure Lengend Snippet: Angiogenesis-related factors in mice with IMQ-induced psoriasis-like inflammation. Mice were treated with IMQ and Veh (IMQ + Veh), IMQ and sCSD (IMQ + sCSD), IMQ and sB (IMQ + sB), or Vaseline for 6 days. ( a ) Images of Proteome Profiler Mouse Angiogenesis Array membranes. A mixture of skin tissue extracts from three mice in each group was used. The mean spot pixel densities that changed by > 30% of the IMQ level are boxed. ( b ) Graph indicates the relative mean spot pixel densities quantified using ImageJ software. ( c ) Relative gene expression levels of MMP-3, SPP1, CXCL12, TIMP-1, and VEGF-A in mouse skin were determined using quantitative PCR. Graphs indicate the mean ± SD of each group (n = 5). One-way analysis of variance (post hoc Holm-Sidak’s test) indicated * P < 0.05 or ** P < 0.01 (IMQ + Veh vs. IMQ + sCSD or IMQ + sB), ^ P < 0.05, ^^^ P < 0.001, or ^^^^ P < 0.0001 (Vase vs. IMQ + Veh), and + P < 0.05, ++ P < 0.01, +++ P < 0.001 (IMQ + sB vs. IMQ + sCSD), respectively.
Article Snippet: Mixed skin tissue extracts from three mice per group (IMQ + Veh, IMQ + sCSD, IMQ + sB, Vaseline) were analyzed using a proteome profiler array (mouse angiogenesis array kit, R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, ARY015), allowing the simultaneous assessment of the relative levels of 53 angiogenesis-related proteins.
