STAT3 inhibitor reduced damage in the BBB through downregulating miR-181b in vivo. (A,B) Assessment of serum D-lactate, TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-8 in the serum and brain homogenates of sham, septic, and Stattic rats by ELISA; (C) Brain vascular permeability as detected by EBD leakage in the sepsis, Stattic, and sham rats (n=3). Extracted dye contents in the formamide extracts were measured at 620 nm; (D) The relative expression of miR-181b in the serum and cerebral cortex of sham, septic, and Stattic rats. **, P<0.01; ***, P<0.001 compared with sham rats; #, P<0. 05; ###, P<0.001 compared with septic rats. IL-6, interleukins 6; IL-8, interleukins 8; TNF-α, tumor necrosis factor alpha; EBD, Evans blue dye; miR-181b, microRNA-181b.
