Thiacloprid inhibits MMP activity in the host–lesion microenvironment. a Quantitative PCR analysis of collagen I and III expression in the host–lesion microenvironment. The data are presented as the mean ± SD of six experiments. b Western blotting was used to detect the protein expression of collagen I and III. c Quantitative analysis of collagen I and III protein levels. The data are presented as the mean ± SD of five experiments. d Quantitative PCR analysis of MMP expression in the host–lesion microenvironment. The data are presented as the mean ± SD of six experiments. e Western blotting was used to detect the protein expression of MMPs. f Quantitative analysis of MMP protein levels. The data are presented as the mean ± SD of five experiments. *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01
