Analysis of the expression of COX2 and NOS2 proteins detected by Western blotting. COX2 and NOS2 proteins in macrophages interferenced with miR-155 mimics, miR-155 inhibitors and negative miRNA were infected with H. pylori (MOI of 10; circles), then were analyzed by Western blotting, and controls included macrophages incubated with medium alone (mean ± SEM, 3 independent experiments). Statistical analysis was by SPSS 16.0, with brackets indicating the pairs of values compared for which significant differences were observed (*P<0.045).
