mRNA expression analyses of MAPK14, GFAP, IL1B and IL6 and MAP2 in postmortem brains. Expression levels of MAPK14 (a), GFAP (b), IL1B (c), IL6 (d), MAP2 (e) and GFAP/MAP2 (f) in postmortem brain tissues (Brodmann’s area 8; BA8) of schizophrenia patients and controls were analyzed using real-time quantitative RT-PCR. The P-values were calculated using two-tailed Mann–Whitney U-test. Horizontal bars show mean±s.d. GFAP, glial fibrillary acidic protein; IL, interleukin; MAP, microtubule-associated protein; MAPK, mitogen-activated protein kinase; mRNA, messenger RNA.
