(A) Relative gene expression of TLR2 of MPMs (2 x 105/ml) from sham (n = 6) and OVX females inoculated with S. aureus (108 CFU) for 6 h. (B) Relative gene expression of TLR2 from OVX females (n = 6) stimulated or not with 17b-estradiol (E2) (10-7 M) for 24 h before inoculation with S. aureus (108 CFU) for 6 h. (C) Relative gene expression of TLR2 of MPMs (2 x 105/ml) of males (n = 6) stimulated or not with 17b-estradiol (E2) (10-7 M) for 24 h before inoculation with S. aureus (108 CFU) for 6 h. Evaluated by RT-qPCR array. Data expressed as mean ± SDM. *P < 0.05.
