Effects of AXT on inflammatory responses in chronic-binge ethanol induced alcoholic liver injury in mice. (A) The expression of COX-2 were determined in the total protein extracts of mice liver tissues by Western blotting. (B) Immunohistochemical analysis of COX-2 confirmed in the pair-fed mice, ethanol-fed mice and ethanol-fed with AXT mice (scale bars, 100 μm). (C) mRNA expression levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6, TNF-α and IL-1β and (D) chemokines such as MCP-1, MIP-1α and MIP-1β in the pair-fed mice, ethanol-fed mice and ethanol-fed with AXT mice. n = 8 per group; means ± SD of the mean. #p < 0.05, ##p < 0.01 and ###p < 0.001 pair-fed vs. ethanol-fed, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 and ***p < 0.001 ethanol-fed vs. ethanol-fed with AXT.
