IHC analysis of p-PI3K, p-STAT3, and HO-1 expression in the psoriasis-like mouse. (a) Expression of p-PI3K, p-STAT3 and HO-1 in different groups. (A) normal group, (B) model group, (C) low-dose PC group, (D) medium-dose PC group, (E) high-dose PC group, and (F) control group. p-PI3K- and p-STAT3-positive cells show brown staining of the nucleus and cytoplasm; HO-1-positive cells show brown staining of the cytoplasm. Black arrows indicate p-PI3K-, p-STAT3-, or HO-1-positive cells. (b) Quantitative analysis of p-PI3K-, p-STAT3-, and HO-1-positive cells. Compared with the normal group, #; compared with the model group, ; and compared with the control group, δ.
