Gene expression of inflammatory mediators in the heart apex. Tissues from TIGR4- and PBS-inoculated mice were collected at 2-, 7- or 28-days post-inoculation and mRNA expression levels of (a) tenascin C; at 7 days post-inoculation, there was a trend for increased levels of tenascin C (b) tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a), (c) chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 3 (CCL3), (d) interleukin-6, (e) NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) and (f) interleukin-1 were quantified by real-time polymerase chain reaction. Target gene was normalized against the housekeeping gene, HPRT. Solid horizontal line represents the median.
