Rapamycin reduces sevoflurane-induced inflammatory response and inhibits the expression of the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway induced by sevoflurane in aged rats. (A) ELISA was performed to determine the expression levels of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α and IL-10. (B) Western blot assays were performed to determine the protein expression levels of apoptosis-related proteins and TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway-related proteins. (C) RT-qPCR was performed to determine the expression levels of TLR4, MyD88 and NF-κB mRNA. *P<0.05 vs. the control group; #P<0.05 vs. the SEV group. TLR4, toll-like receptor 4; MyD88, myeloid differentiation primary response 88; NF-κB, nuclear factor-κB; RT-qPCR, reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction; SEV, sevoflurane; RAP, rapamycin.
