β-estradiol pre-treatment inhibits Con A-induced protein expression of Cx40 and Cx43 in peripheral blood lymphocytes. The immunoblot analysis of (A) Cx40 and (B) Cx43 in peripheral blood lymphocytes treated with Con A and Con A + β-estradiol. The bar graph presents the densitometric analysis of relative expression of (A) Cx40 and (B) Cx43 normalized to β-actin level. Results are presented as the mean ± standard error of five samples/group. *P<0.05 and **P<0.01, control group vs. Con A-stimulated group; #P<0.05, Con A-stimulated group vs. β-estradiol treated group. Each figure is representative of three independent experiments. Con A, concanavalin A; Cx, connexin.
