Effect of curcumin on both total MKP-1 and its phosphorylation state in LPS-stimulated IEC-6 cells.

<p>(A) The expressions of total MKP-1 and phospho MKP-1 were highest in LPS+curcumin group and LPS+SB group, middle in LPS treated IEC-6 cells, and lowest in control group. The levels of total or phosphorylated proteins were detected by western blot. (B) (C) The bar graphs were a clear reflection of the level of total MKP-1 and phosphor-MKP-1 among four groups. #p<0.05 vs. control group; Δp = 0.00 vs. LPS group.
