Effects of TPs on the Mst-Nrf2 axis and Keap1/Nrf2/HO-1 pathway protein expression on RAW264.7 cells under oxidative damage. (A) The protein expression levels were tested using western blotting. (B) Keap1, (C) Mst2, (D) Mst1, (E) Nrf2 and (F) HO-1 proteins levels were quantified via densitometry and were normalized to β-actin. Each bar represents the mean ± SD of three independent experiments. *P<0.05 or **P<0.01 vs. the control group, ##P<0.01 vs. the H2O2 group. TPs, tea polyphenols; Mst, mammalian STE20-like protein kinase; Nrf2, nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2; Keap1, Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1; HO-1, heme oxygenase 1.
