Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 5. Effects of (R)-ketamine on lung wet/dry weight (W/D) ratio and pulmonary levels of inflammatory cytokines of septic mice. (A) Lung W/D ratio in each group 6, 12 and 24 h after CLP or sham. The data are expressed as the means ± SEM. *P < 0.05. N.S., not significant. (B) Representative H&E sections of lung (×200) 24 h after CLP. Scale Bar = 50 μm. (C) Histological injury scores of the lungs in each group 24 h after CLP. Western blotting analysis of the protein expression of interleukin (IL)-1β (D), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α (E), IL-6 (F), IL-17A (G), interferon (IFN)-γ (H), and IL-10 (I) 6, 12 and 24 h after CLP. The data are expressed as the means ± SEM. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.0001. N.S., not significant. The differences between groups were analyzed by either Student's t-test (for simple two-sample comparison) or one-way ANOVA with Tukey's post hoc test (for multiple comparison). R-KT, (R)-ketamine. See the Sup plementary Table 3 for detailed statistical analysis.
Article Snippet: The membranes were blocked with 5% skim milk in TBS with 0.1% Tween 20 (TBST) for 1 h at room temperature, and then incubated with the following primary antibodies: rabbit monoclonal anti-IL-6 antibody (1:1000, #12912S, Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA), rabbit polyclonal anti-TNF-α antibody (1:1000, #A11534, ABclonal, Inc., Tokyo, Japan), rabbit polyclonal anti-IL-17A antibody (1:1000, #A0688, ABclonal, Inc., Tokyo, Japan), rabbit polyclonal anti-IL-1β antibody (1:1000, #A1112, ABclonal, Inc., Tokyo, Japan), rabbit polyclonal anti-IL-10 antibody (1:1000, #A2171, ABclonal, Inc., Tokyo, Japan), rabbit polyclonal anti-IFN-γ antibody (1:1000, #A12450, ABclonal, Inc., Tokyo, Japan), and mouse monoclonal anti-β-actin antibody (1:10,000, #A5441, Sigma-Aldrich Co., Ltd., St Louis, MO, USA) overnight at 4 ◦C.
