Protein expression levels of CCL2, CCR2, JNK, and p-ERK and p-p38 were examined in the three groups of mice using western blotting. The bands were quantified, and the ratios between the expression levels of the target protein and GAPDH were calculated for statistical analysis. CCL2, chemokine (C-C Motif) ligand 2; CCR2, chemokine (C-C Motif) receptor 2; JNK, c-Jun N-terminal kinase; p-ERK, phosphorylated-extracellular signal-regulated kinase; GAPDH, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase.
