Figure Lengend Snippet: Efficacy of ELN28-135-01 in a Tg197 transgenic mouse model of arthritis. Tg197 mice were treated with ELN22-108, ELN28-135-01, and ELN0-2V-135-01 for 7 weeks starting at week 3. Effect of test articles on (A) in vivo arthritic score, (B) inflammation score, (C) cartilage destruction score, (D) bone erosion score, and (E) total histopathology score. (F) Mouse CXCL1 and (G) MCP-1 protein levels in serum. (H) 2D scatterplots comparing gene expression modulation. (I) Restoration of expression levels (gene counts) for genes involved in the JAK/STAT signaling pathway. Data for the arthritic score are presented as mean ± SEM ( n = 10). For the rest of panels, data are presented as a scatter plot, with the median indicated by a line ( n = 8). Statistical significance was assessed using an unpaired t -test with Welch’s correction (*, p <0.05).
