From: Etanercept attenuates traumatic brain injury in rats by reducing early microglial expression of tumor necrosis factor-α

Figure 4

Etanercept decreased FPI-induced increases in the number of co-localization of microglia and TNF-α specific marker cells in ischemic hippocampal regions. The FPI+saline group () showed a significant increase of the numbers of co-localization of microglia and TNF-α specific marker cells cells in the ischemic hippocampus 72 h after FPI compared with the Sham controls (■) (*P < 0.01). Representative panel staining 72 h after FPI, respectively, for (A) a sham operation rat, (B) a FPI+saline rat and (C) a FPI+etanercept rat. (D) The FPI+etanercept group () showed a significant decrease in the number of co-localization of microglia and TNF-α specific marker cells in ischemic hippocampus compared with the FPI+saline group () (+P < 0.01). Each column and bar is the mean ± SD of eight rats per group.
