Effect of EP on the MAPK signaling pathway in LPS-treated kidney tissues. Protein levels of (A) p-ERK (Thr202/Tyr204) and ERK, (B) p-JNK (Thr183/Tyr185) and JNK, and (C) p-p38 (Thr180/Tyr182) and p38 were detected in renal tissues using western blotting. β-actin was used as the internal reference. Results are presented as the mean ± standard deviation (n=6). ###P<0.001 vs. control group; *P<0.05, **P<0.01 and ***P<0.001 vs. LPS group. EP, Echinacea polysaccharide; LPS, lipopolysaccharide; MAPK, mitogen-activated protein kinase; p-, phospho-; ERK, extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase; JNK, c-Jun N-terminal kinase.
