Proteomic Analysis of Anti-inflammatory Effects of a Kampo (Japanese Herbal) Medicine “Shoseiryuto (Xiao-Qing-Long-Tang)” on Airway Inflammation in a Mouse Model

Figure 8

Effects of SST and prednisolone on spectrin α2 expression level in lung tissue of OVA-sensitized mice were measured by western blot analysis. OVA-sensitized mice were treated with SST, prednisolone (PRE) or water as described in legend of Figure 2. Lung tissue was obtained at 7 day after the OVA exposure. Western blot with β-actin was performed to verify that equivalent amounts of proteins were loaded in each lane. Western blotting patterns of spectrin α2 and β-actin (a), and results of statistical analysis of spectrin α2/β-actin ratio (b). Each column represents the mean  ±  SEM of five to seven mice per group. Statistical analysis was conducted using Tukey's test.
