Effects of BS in NF-κB and MAPKs pathway-related protein levels. (a–d) The expression analysis of p-IκB-α, p-NF-κB, p-p38, p-JNK, and p-ERK via western blot, respectively. (e) Nuclear translocation detection of NF-κB (p65) from the cytoplasm via immunofluorescence staining. ## compared with the normal control; and ∗∗ compared with the LPS group.
