mRNA expression of cytokines and chemokines in isolated brain microvasculature endothelial cells and parenchyma fraction after IV injection of 1 mg/kg TiO2 NPs in rats. mRNA transcription profiles for IL-1β, IP-10 and CXCL1 in isolated rat brain microvasculature endothelial cells and IL6 in parenchyma fractions of control and treated animals performed by RT-qPCR at 24 h (a) and 28 days (b) after IV injection. Each data point represents the mean ± SEM of n = 4 animals and RT-qPCR were performed in duplicate for each single preparation of brain microvasculature endothelial cells. Statistical comparison was performed by one tailed Mann Whitney test, *P < 0.05; ** P < 0.01
