Topical Administration of 15-Deoxy-Δ12,14-Prostaglandin J2 Using a Nonionic Cream: Effect on UVB-Induced Skin Oxidative, Inflammatory, and Histopathological Modifications in Mice

Figure 5

The UVB-triggered production of the cytokines was inhibited by topical formulation containing 15d-PGJ2 (TFcPGJ2). The cytokines TGF-β (a) and IL-6 (b) were determined in skin samples collected 4 h after the irradiation. NC: negative control; PC: positive control; uTF: unloaded topical formulation. Bars are of 6 mice per group and are representative of two separate experiments. One-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s test. versus the negative control group; # versus UVB-stimulated groups.
