Figure Lengend Snippet: RAW264.7 cells were cultured in αKG-supplemented medium, treated with the STAT3 inhibitor Stattic, and subsequently stimulated with S. aureus . A: Protein expression levels of the JAK1/STAT3 signaling pathway and its negative regulator SOCS3 were detected in the Control, αKG, and αKG + S. au groups. B-I: Relative mRNA expression of M2 and M1 marker genes across the four experimental groups. J-L: Inflammatory cytokine levels and NF-κB signaling pathway activity in the Control, αKG, αKG + S. au , and αKG + S. au +Stattic groups. M: Expression levels of the JAK1/STAT3 signaling pathway across the four experimental groups. The data are presented as mean ± SD. One-way analysis of variance was performed for statistical analysis. * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01 and *** P < 0.001 indicate significance from each group. ns, no significance.
