Figure Lengend Snippet: FIGURE 6 | Effects of mixed-lineage leukemia 1 (MLL1)/ WD-40 repeat protein 5 (WDR5) complex inhibitors on peritoneal inflammation. (A, D) mRNA abundance of Il1b and Tnf in control mice, methylglyoxal (MGO)-injected mice, and MGO-injected mice treated with (A) MM-102 and (D) OICR-9429. Gene expression was normalized to the internal control Gapdh. n = 5 per group. (B, E) Representative immunohistochemical analyses showing interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α expression in peritoneal tissue from control mice, MGO-injected mice, and MGO-injected mice treated with (B) MM-102 and (E) OICR-9429. The right panels show high-magnification images of the boxed regions (scale bar: 100 μm). (C, F) Quantitative analysis of IL-1β-positive cells, IL-6-positive cells, and TNF-α-positive cells in peritoneal tissue from control mice, MGO- injected mice, and MGO-injected mice treated with (C) MM-102 and (F) OICR-9429. n = 5 per group. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, and ***p < 0.001 by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Tukey's post hoc test. CTL, control.
