Effects of BB-12 on STAT1 and STAT6 expression levels. (a) Western blot analysis of p-STAT1, STAT1, p-STAT6, and STAT6 protein expression levels. p-STAT1 expression decreased in the group after treatment with BB-12 compared with that in D-gal group. However, with the increase in BB-12 treatment time, the p-STAT6 expression levels were gradually higher in the D-gal+30 min BB-12, D-gal+60 min BB-12, and D-gal+6 h BB-12 groups compared with those in the D-gal group. β-Actin was used as the internal control. (b) p-STAT1/STAT1 ratios and (c) p-STAT6/STAT6 ratios. or vs. the D-gal group; .
