Figure Lengend Snippet: Inhibitory effect of MKE on the TLR4-NFκB signaling pathway. The expression levels of TLR-4, p-IκBα/IκBα, and p-p65/p65 in tissues collected at week 16 were evaluated. ( A ) Representative Western blot image. ( B ) Quantitative analysis of TLR-4 expression. ( C ) Quantitative analysis of the p-IκBα/IκBα expression ratio. ( D ) Quantitative analysis of the p-p65/p65 ratio. The data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation ( n = 3/group). * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01 compared to the ligature control group; # p < 0.05 versus the non-ligature control group. Non-ligature = non-ligature control group, Ligature = ligature control group, Doxycycline = ligature + doxycycline 20 mg/kg group, MKE 100 = ligature + MKE 100 mg/kg group, MKE 400 = ligature + MKE 400 mg/kg group.
