SOCS/JAK2/STAT/PPAR-γ pathway in HuoXueTongFu Formula- (HXTF-) induced macrophage polarization. RAW264.7 macrophages were incubated during 12 h with the control DMEM solution, LPS+IFN-γ, IL-4, and HXTF, respectively. Whole protein was extracted, and each protein expression was assayed by Western blotting. All values are expressed as mean ± S.E. (n = 3 experiments). ^∗p < 0.05, ^∗∗p < 0.01, ^ap < 0.05, and ^bp < 0.01, comparison of the designated two groups.
