Figure 2From: The anti-inflammatory effects of the tellurium redox modulating compound, AS101, are associated with regulation of NFκB signaling pathway and nitric oxide induction in macrophagesEffect of AS101 on degradation and phosphorylation of IKBα in RAW264.7 macrophages. (A,D) Cells were treated with LPS in the absence or in the presence of AS101 for 1 h (A) and 4 h (D). Total cellular proteins were prepared and immunoblotted using anti-pIKBαser32/36, anti-IKBα and anti-actin. Bar graphs represent the quantitative densitometric value of the expressed protein vs actin: pIKBαser32/36 1 h (B) and 4 h (E), IKBα- 1 h (C) and 4 h (F). *p < 0.05 vs LPS. Data shown are representative of three different experiments.Back to article page
