Figure 7. Allicin suppresses the over-expression of chemokines and AMPs. (A) Quantitative PCR analysis of mRNA level of the CXCL8, CCL20, S100a8, and S100a9 genes in IL-17A-stimulated HaCaT cells with or without allicin (n=3). (B) Quantitative PCR analysis of mRNA level of the CXCL2, CXCL5, CCL20, S100a8, and S100a9 genes in IMQ-induced psoriatic lesions treated with or without allicin (n=6). Data are expressed as means ± SD. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001.
