Figure 5

GW405833 inhibits LPS-triggered signal pathway in macrophages. (a) Peritoneal macrophages isolated from C57BL/6 mice were treated with vehicle or LPS (1 ng/mL) in the absence or presence of GW405833 (10  M) for 30 min. STAT3, phosphorylated-STAT3, ERK1/2, phosphorylated- ERK1/2, and I B were detected by Western blotting. Data are representative of three independent experiments. (b), Quantification of the result of (a). p-STAT3 expression was normalized to STAT3, p-ERK1/2 was normalized to ERK1/2, and I B was normalized to GAPDH. Data are means SD, * , and ** . (c) Macrophages were treated as described in (a), p65 was detected by immunofluorescence. p65 was marked in red fluorescence and nucleus was marked with DAPI in blue. Data are representative of three independent experiments.
