Thrombin Induces Secretion of Multiple Cytokines and Expression of Protease-Activated Receptors in Mouse Mast Cell Line

Figure 7

Effect of cell signaling inhibitors including selective P38 MAPK inhibitor (SB203580), ERK1/2 MAPK inhibitor (PD98059), and JNK pathway inhibitor (SP600125) on thrombin-induced releasing of mediators of P815 cells. Selective P38 MAPK inhibitor (SB203580), ERK1/2 MAPK inhibitor (PD98059), and JNK pathway inhibitor (SP600125) lessen, but not completely, the mediators released by P815 cells induced by thrombin. ANOVA was performed. Multiple comparisons were applied to compare the difference between cell signaling inhibited groups and the thrombin group or control group. means that the difference was statistically significant between groups; , , and . Difference between the control group and the thrombin group is shown in Figure 3. CON: control group; TM: thrombin.
