    Compound A inhibited macrophages for polarized M2 phenotype in IL-4-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. ( a ) After treating with IL-4 (20 ng/mL) for 24 h, the expression and phosphorylation of PKC δ, ERK, and STAT6 were detected 0–60 min after compound A (10 μmol·L −1 ) treatment. Statistical significance was represented as follows: * p < 0.05, *** p < 0.001 versus 0 min group. ( b ) The expression and phosphorylation of STAT3 and STAT6 were detected 24 h after compound A treatment. Statistical significance was represented as follows: ### p < 0.001 versus C group; *** p < 0.001 versus IL-4 group. ( c ) The expression of TGF-β, CD163, CD206, ARG-1 was detected. ( d ) Representative images of immunofluorescence staining of CD206 (green) and DAPI (blue) of IL-4-induced RAW264.7 cells. Statistical significance was represented as follows: # p < 0.05, ## p < 0.01, ### p < 0.001 versus C group; ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001 versus IL-4 group.
