Thyroxine Affects Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Macrophage Differentiation and Myocardial Cell Apoptosis via the NF-κB p65 Pathway Both In Vitro and In Vivo

Figure 3

Effects of thyroidectomy on LPS-induced Mø differentiation in mice. (a) STAT1 phosphorylation and p65 phosphorylation levels in the heart were measured. (b) The iNOS and Arg-1 mRNA levels in each heart sample were detected. (c) Heart CD80 and CD206 expression was analyzed by immunohistochemical staining (200x). (d and e) The iNOS, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-17, TNF-α, IFN-γ, Arg-1, IL-4, IL-10, and IL-13 mRNA levels in the heart were detected. in each group. vs. the control group. # vs. the LPS group.
