STAT3 deficiency eliminates the anti-inflammatory effect of AMPK in mice. Peritoneal macrophages were obtained from wild-type and STAT3-deficient mice, in which the STAT3 gene was specifically deleted in myeloid cells. Mice were intraperitoneally injected with LPS (15 mg/kg) alone or combined with BBR (10 mg/kg) for 6 h. (A) STAT3 protein levels in peritoneal macrophages. WT represents wild-type mice; STAT3−/−#1 and STAT3−/−#2 are two STAT3-deficient mice. (B–D) Relative mRNA levels of inflammatory genes in peritoneal macrophages. (E) HE-staining images of lung tissue. (F) Relative mRNA levels of inflammatory genes in lung tissue. Data are presented as means ± SD from 3 independent experiments. **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 compared to indicated group. Bar represents 50 μm.
