Caffeine differently regulates mTOR and AMPK signaling pathways in the M-MΦs and GM-MΦs. Cells were pre-treated with caffeine (1 mM) for 1 h, then stimulated with LPS (100 ng/mL) for the indicated time. Representative immunoblots of phosphorylated mTOR (A), AKT (B), and AMPK (C) obtained from cell lysates of M-MΦs and GM-MΦs. Bar graphs represent the relative protein expression determined by densitometry. β-actin was used as the internal control for normalization. All results are shown as means ± SEM. (* p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001).
