Gastrodin Ameliorates Acute Rejection via IRE1α/TRAF2/NF-κB in Rats Receiving Liver Allografts

Figure 4

GAS alleviates acute rejection injury by inhibiting the IRE1α/TRAF2/NF-κB pathway. (a) Western blot was performed using liver tissues collected 14 d postoperatively. The expression of p-IRE1α, TRAF2, p-IκBα, and p-p65 proteins was decreased in GAS treatment groups (n ≥ 5, , ). (b) Immunohistochemistry for observing the expression of p-IRE1α, TRAF2, and p-p65 in liver tissues 14 d postoperatively, which was significantly decreased in GAS treatment groups (magnification: ×400). Values represent mean ± SD of at least three independent experiments.
