Effects of CRP/oxLDL/β2GPI on P38MAPK-associated signaling in the aortas. Extracts of aortas from NC and diabetes animals were subjected to Western blots using the anti-bodies shown. A: Phosphorylation level of p38MAPK in aortas, expressed as the ratio to NC group (expression level of NC group was normalized as 1, n= 4). *P < 0.05, compared with the CRP/oxLDL/β2GPI group, P < 0.05, compared with the PBS group, ‡P< 0.05, compared with the NC group. B: Phosphorylation level of MKK3/6 in aortas, expressed as the ratio to NC group (expression level of NC group was normalized as 1, n= 4). *P < 0.05, compared with the CRP/oxLDL/β2GPI group, †P < 0.05, compared with the PBS group, P< 0.05, compared with the NC group.
