Aortic expression of endothelial activation markers at the preclinical stage and at onset of arthritis in AIA rats. mRNA expression of ICAM-1 (A, F), VCAM-1 (B, G), CXCL-1 (C, H), MCP-1 (CCL-2) (D, I), and MIP-1α (CCL-3) (E, J) was studied in thoracic aorta of control and AIA rats at the preclinical stage (day 4 post-immunization, A–E) and at the onset of arthritis (day 11 post-immunization, F–J) by qRT-PCR. Results are expressed as means ± SEM (n=number of rats/group). *(p<0.05), ***(p<0.001). NS, non-significant
