Fig. 2. Expression of neuroinflammatory marker genes in the hypothalamus А. Astroglial and microglial response to acute inflammation. B. Relative expression of genes encoding pro-inflammatory cytokines (Il1β, Tnfa) and markers of glial activation (Aif1, Gfap) at various time points after the mRNA-LNP vaccine administration. The data are presented as mean ± standard error. * — p < 0.05, ** — p < 0.01, compared to the group that received normal saline at the same time point; # — p < 0.05, compared to the group that received 20 μg of mRNA-LNP at the same time point; $ — p < 0.05, $$ — p < 0.01, compared to the point within 8 hours after administration; & — p < 0.05, compared to the point within 4 hours after administration.
