Figure 2. Phosphorylations of MAP kinase and nuclear transcriptional factor, NF-κB after TAC operation.

Figure 2

A. Increase in phosphorylations of MAPK and NF-κB after TAC operation in PTX3-KO mice (left panel) and in PTX3-TG mice (right panel). B. Modulation of ERK1/2 and NF-κB p65 phosphorylation in PTX3-KO (left), PTX3-TG (right), compared with WT mice. C. ERK1/2 phosphorylation after recombinant PTX3 stimulation (left panel; cardiac myocytes, right panel; cardiac fibroblasts). *P<0.01 vs. sham-operated mice of the same strain. Results are expressed as mean ± SD (n = 8).
