Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 5. SHE inhibits the MAPK/NF-κB/STAT1 signaling pathway in IFN-γ/TNF-α-stimulated HaCaT cells. The cells were pre-treated with SHE (300 µg/mL) for 1 h and then stimulated with IFN-γ/TNF-α for 0, 5, 15, and 30 min. (a) Phosphorylated and total MAPK (p38, ERK, and JNK) protein levels as well as (b) phosphorylation or degradation of IκBα and STAT1 were detected in the cells. (c, d) HaCaT cells were pre- stimulated with SHE for 1 h and then treated with IFN-γ/TNF-α for 1 h. (c) Nuclear extracts were analyzed using western blotting to detect p-STAT1, STAT1, and NF-κB (p65 and p50 subunits). PCNA was used as a loading control for nuclear extracts. For clarity of data, the Western blots were cropped and all original blots are presented in Supplementary Figure 1. (d) Localization of p-STAT1 (green and red) was visualized using immunofluorescence. The nuclei were stained with DRAQ (blue). Scale bar = 10 μm.
