Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of ESB on STAT3 phosphorylation in RAW 264.7 cells. RAW 264.7 mouse macrophages were stimulated with IL-6 (100 ng/mL, A, B) or IL-4 (100 ng/mL, C, D) in the presence or absence of ESB (50 and 100 μg/mL). After 24 h, the levels of phosphorylated and total STAT3 and STAT6 were analyzed using Western blot analysis. Actin served as a loading control. Representative blot images from three independent experiments are shown (A, C). The ratio of phosphorylated to total protein was quantified by measuring band intensity (B, D). Data are presented as the mean ± SD of three independent experiments. Statistical significance was evaluated using one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post hoc test ( ## p < 0.01, ### p < 0.001 versus untreated control; ns, not significant; *p < 0.05, ***p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 versus cells treated with IL-6 or IL-4). ESB, ethanolic extract of Scutellaria baicalensis root; IL, interleukin; STAT3, signal transducer and activator of transcription 3.
