Effect of STAT3 decoy ODN transfection on upregulated HMGB1 levels in mice following CLP-induced sepsis. (A) HMGB1 protein levels in lung and liver tissues. Typical Western blots are shown in the top images in each panel. HMGB1 protein levels were normalized to GAPDH (n = 6). (B) HMGB1 mRNA in lung, liver, and kidney tissues. The mRNA levels of HMGB1 were quantified by real-time PCR and was normalized to GAPDH (n = 6). Tissues were harvested 18 h after surgery. (C) Serum HMGB1 levels in 18-h CLP mice (n = 6). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, and ***P < 0.001 compared with the respective control (18 h after sham operation). #P < 0.05 and ##P < 0.01 compared with CLP alone.
