Figure 8. Implication of ERK in the activation of PPARγ.
(A) The A. parvulum and P. copri -induced signal were inhibited using the specific inhibitor for MEK/ERK (U0126) on HT-29-PPARγ cells. Different letters indicate statistically different results (p < 0.05). (B) The implication of MEK/ERK in PPARγ activation by A. parvulum and P. copri was confirmed on the protein level showing phosphorylation of ERK1/2. Total ERK1/2 was used as control for phosphorylated PPARγ. GAPDH was used as loading control.
