Figure Lengend Snippet: MSC SLP inhibited STAT3 phosphorylation, and rh IL-6 enhanced STAT3 phosphorylation to reduce p63 expression. a The levels of p-STAT3, STAT3, and β-actin proteins were measured by western blotting. b Quantitative analysis of p-STAT3 expression. c The concentrations of rh IL-6 in the lungs on days 1 and 2 after rh IL-6 administration. d The protein levels of p-STAT3, STAT3, p63, and β-actin were measured by western blotting. e Quantitative analysis of p-STAT3 expression. f p63 mRNA-expression levels were measured by RT-qPCR. N = 6–8 in each group. The data shown are presented as the mean ± SD, and statistical differences were assessed by one-way ANOVA. ** P < 0.01; *** P < 0.001
Article Snippet: Then, plasma IL-6 concentrations and BALF IL-6 and IL-1β concentrations were measured using corresponding enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits from eBioscience (San Diego, CA, USA).
