(A) RT-qPCR quantification of Il6, Il1b, Ptgs2 and Ccl5 levels in the epidermis of acutely irradiated (Ac-UV; +) and non-irradiated (-) Ppard +/+ and -/- mice. Il6: Ppard +/+ no UV vs Ac-UV P = 7E-04, Ppard +/+ Ac-UV vs Ppard -/- Ac-UV P = 0.008; Il1b: Ppard +/+ no UV vs Ac-UV P = 0.010, Ppard +/+ Ac-UV vs Ppard -/- Ac-UV P = 0.016, Ppard -/- no UV vs Ac-UV P = 0.015; Ptgs2: Ppard +/+ no UV vs Ac-UV P = 0.028, Ppard +/+ Ac-UV vs Ppard -/- Ac-UV P = 0.028, Ppard -/- no UV vs Ac-UV P = 8E-04; Ccl5: Ppard +/+ no UV vs Ac-UV P = 0.002, Ppard +/+ Ac-UV vs Ppard -/- Ac-UV P = 0.014, Ppard -/- no UV vs Ac-UV P = 0.010; ns: non significant. N=4 animals per group, one representative experiment is shown out of three independent replicates.
