doi: 10.3748/wjg.v31.i26.105656
Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of kushenol I on the expression of inflammation-related proteins phosphorylated phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), PI3K, phosphorylated protein kinase B (AKT), AKT, forkhead box O1, interleukin 1β, Toll-like receptor 4, phosphorylated p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), p38 MAPK, nuclear factor kappa B phosphorylated p65, nuclear factor kappa B p65, and NOD-like receptor thermal protein domain associated protein 3 in the colonic tissues of mice with ulcerative colitis. A: Image of a gel showing protein expression; B: Bar graph depicting protein expression. Values are presented as the mean ± standard error of the mean ( n = 3). a P < 0.05. b P < 0.01. c P < 0.001. P compared with the model group. AKT: Protein kinase B; FOXO1: Forkhead box O1; IL-1β: Interleukin 1β; PI3K: Phosphoinositide 3-kinase; p-p38: Phosphorylated p38; p38 MAPK: p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase; p-p65: Phosphorylated p65; p-PI3K: Phosphorylated phosphoinositide 3-kinase; p-AKT: Phosphorylated protein kinase B; NF-κB: Nuclear factor kappa B; NLRP3: NOD-like receptor thermal protein domain associated protein 3; TLR4: Toll-like receptor 4.
Article Snippet: Antibodies against nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) p65, phosphorylated NF-κB p65 (NF-κB p-p65), NOD-like receptor thermal protein domain associated protein 3 (NLRP3), phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), and phosphorylated PI3K (p-PI3K) were purchased from Cell Signaling Technology Inc.
