Inhibitory effect of Qizhu decoction extracts on HBV-induced hepatitis in mice involves the suppression of NF-κB. (A) The effect of QC on the mRNA expression of TNF-α, IL-1β, and COX-2 in mouse livers was analyzed by real-time PCR. GAPDH was used as an internal control. Each value indicates the mean ± SD and is representative of results from three independent experiments; #P < 0.001 vs. the control. (B) The effect of QS on the mRNA expression of TNF-α, IL-1β, and COX-2 in mouse livers was analyzed by real-time PCR. GAPDH was used as an internal control. Each value indicates the mean ± SD and is representative of results from three independent experiments; #P < 0.001 vs. the control. (C,D) NF-κB activity in mouse livers was analyzed by western blot (C), and a corresponding semiquantitative analysis based on optical density was performed using ImageJ software (D). The values are presented as the means ± SDs of data from three separate experiments; #P < 0.001 vs. the control.
