Helicobacter pylori Thioredoxin1 May Play a Highly Pathogenic Role via the IL6/STAT3 Pathway

Figure 3

The high-Trx1 HP can cause higher expression of IL-6 in AGS and GES-1 cells. (a, b) The IL-6 expression of GES-1 and AGS cells during low-Trx1 HP and high-Trx1 HP infection were analyzed by ELISA test. (c, d) The IL-6 expression of GES-1 and AGS cells during low-Trx1 HP and high-Trx1 HP infection was analyzed by real-time PCR test. Note: NC means uninfected control group, low-Trx1 HP means HP with low Trx1 expression, and high-Trx1 HP means HP with high Trx1 expression, , , , ^##, and ^###.
