doi: 10.1155/mi/9580121
Figure Lengend Snippet: Caffeine upregulation Siglec-6/SHP-1 signaling pathway and downregulation MRGPRX2 signaling pathway. (A) The levels of Siglec-6, p-SHP-1, SHP-1, and MRGPRX2 protein. (B–D) Quantification of Siglec-6, p-SHP-1, and MRGPRX2 protein expression. (E) The levels of PLCγ1, p-PLCγ1, IP3R, p-IP3R, ERK1/2, and p-ERK1/2 by western blot. (F–H) Quantification of p-PLC, p-IP3R, and p-ERK1/2 expression, n = 3. Significance levels were denoted as ∗ p < 0.05, ∗∗ p < 0.01, and ∗∗∗ p < 0.001.
