Figure Lengend Snippet: The upregulation of IL-1β and IL-1R1 after LPS treatment shows a similar time course as the neuroinflammation-related EEG changes. (A) The concentration of IL-1β measured in PFC tissue homogenates at different time points after LPS injection. The data show a significant increase 4 h after the treatment and then a rapid decrease. (B) Serum levels of IL-1β also showed a significant increase 4 h after LPS injection; however, the following decrease was more gradual over time. The concentration of IL-1β was measured by a magnetic bead-based immunoassay. (C) Western blot analysis of PFC IL-1R1 expression after LPS treatment. Densitometry analysis of immunoblots from PFC tissue homogenates (left panel) revealed a significant increase in IL-1R1 levels at 4 h after LPS treatment and then a gradual decrease over time (right panel). Control and 4 h LPS data were statistically compared using two-sample t -test (n = 5 mice for each group). Data are presented as mean ± SD. * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01.
Article Snippet: The blots were blocked with 5.0% BSA in Tris-buffered saline with 0.05% Tween-20 (TBS-T) for 1 h. The membranes were then incubated overnight at 4 °C in the blocking buffer with goat anti-IL-1R1 antibody (1:500 dilution, AF771-SP, R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA).
