Honokiol inhibits LPS-induced ER stress in bEECs. The expression of ER stress-related proteins in LPS-stimulated bEECs following treatment with different doses of HKL as detected by western blotting. *P<0.05, **P<0.01 and ***P<0.001 vs. control. ##P<0.01, ###P<0.001 vs. LPS. HKL or Hon, honokiol; LPS, lipopolysaccharide; bEECs, bovine endometrial epithelial cells; ATF6, activating transcription factor 6; CHOP, CCAAT-enhancer-binding protein homologous protein; IRE1, inositol-requiring enzyme 1; c-, cleaved.
