Cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) decreased the levels of Akt and glycogen synthase kinase G β (GSK3β) phosphorylation was attenuated by CpG oligodeoxynucleotide (CpG-ODN). Mice were treated with CpG-ODN, control CpG-ODN (control-ODN), and inhibitory CpG-ODN (iCpG-ODN) by intraperitoneal injection 1 hour prior to CLP (n = 6/group). Sham surgery served as a sham control (n = 6/group). Hearts were harvested, and cellular proteins were prepared. The levels of phosphorylation of Akt (p-Akt; A) and GSK-3β (p-GSK3β; B) were examined by Western blotting. Representative blots are shown above the graph. Abbreviations: S, Sham; C, CLP; C-ODN, Control-ODN; CpG, CpG-ODN; iCpG, inhibitory CpG-ODN. *P < .05.
