IFN-τ Displays Anti-Inflammatory Effects on Staphylococcus aureus Endometritis via Inhibiting the Activation of the NF-κB and MAPK Pathways in Mice

Figure 7

Effect of IFN-τ on MAPK activation. (a) The protein levels of MAPKs in uterine tissues. (b) The ratio of phosphorylation proteins as well as β-actin levels. Western blotting was performed to measure the levels of total and phosphorylated p38, ERK, and JNK protein in the Control group (CG), the S. aureus-induced endometritis without drug treatment group (S. aureus), and the IFN-τ administration groups (2, 4, and 8 mg/kg). β-Actin was used as a control. The values are presented as the means ± SD (). , significantly different from the CG; ^#, significantly different from the S. aureus group.
