Figure 5 Effects of Scolopendra subspinipes mutilans on pancreatic high-mobility group box protein-1 expression in cerulein-induced acute pancreatitis. A, B: 200 × (A) and 400 × (B) magnification of representative immunohistochemical data, detecting high-mobility group box protein-1 (HMGB-1) expression in pancreatic tissue sections of control mice and mice pretreated with Scolopendra subspinipes mutilans (SSM) (0.1, 0.5, or 1 g/kg) 1 h before the cerulein (50 μg/kg)-mediated induction of acute pancreatitis (AP). Mice were sacrificed 6 h after the last cerulein injection; C: Relative intensity of HMGB-1 staining was scored as described in Materials and Methods. Data are represented as mean ± SE (n = 6 in each group). The results were similar in 3 further experiments. aP < 0.05 vs control group, cP < 0.05 vs cerulein treatment alone.
