doi: 10.5051/jpis.2402980149
Figure Lengend Snippet: Protein levels were assessed using Western blotting following stimulation with IL-6 (10 ng/mL) for durations of 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, and 24 hours in Ca9-22 cells. Densitometric analyses of the Western blot results for ODAM, p-STAT3, STAT3, p-p65, p65, p-IKKα/β, IKKβ, and IKKα are presented. The intensity of the α-tubulin band was normalized to 1, and graphs were generated to illustrate the relative intensities of the other protein bands. IL-6: interleukin-6, ODAM: odontogenic ameloblast-associated protein, STAT3: signal transducer and activator of transcription 3, p-STAT3: phosphorylated STAT3, p65: nuclear factor-kappa B p65, p-p65: phosphorylated p65, IKKα: IκB kinase α, IKKβ: IκB kinase β, p-IKKα/β: phosphorylated IκB kinase α/β. The data represent the mean ± standard deviation from 3 independent experiments, with * P <0.05 and ** P <0.01 indicating statistical significance.
