Electroacupuncture Could Regulate the NF-𝜿B Signaling Pathway to Ameliorate the Inflammatory Injury in Focal Cerebral Ischemia/Reperfusion Model Rats

Figure 9

Fluorescent Quantitative-PCR analysis of the IKKα and IKKβ mRNA expression of the sham group, I/R group, EA group, and NBD group in the ischemic brain tissue (with the same samples from Figure 6). (a) The expression of IKKα mRNA was significantly increased in the I/R group compared with that in the EA and NBD group, ^∗𝑃<0.05. The IKKα mRNA expressed lowly in EA group, ^#𝑃<0.05 versus I/R group and NBD group. (b) The IKKβ mRNA expression in I/R group was high at 24 h and 48 h, ^∗𝑃<0.05 versus EA group and NBD group. It was lower in NBD group from 6 h to 48 h, ^†𝑃<0.05 versus EA group.
