The high-Trx1 HP can cause higher expression of p-STAT3. (a) Representative immuno-histochemical pictures and statistical graph of p-STAT3 in noninfection gastric mucus () and HP infection gastric mucus (). (b) The p-STAT3 expression of GES-1 and AGS cells during low-Trx1 HP and high-Trx1 HP infection was detected by Western blot. 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 ^###.
