Hepatic protein levels of STAT3 and SMAD1/5/8. Representative western blots (a) and quantitative analyses (b) of hepatic phospho-STAT3 and total-STAT3 protein expression from Alk3fl/fl (Cre-) and Alk3fl/fl; Alb-Cre (Cre+) mice 24 h after S. aureus administration. Two isoforms of phospho-STAT3 α and β (79/86 kDa) exist. Loading control is depicted by total STAT3 protein levels. c Hepatic protein expression of phospho-SMAD1/5/8, SMAD1, and α-tubulin from Alk3fl/fl (Cre-) and Alk3fl/fl; Alb-Cre (Cre+) mice 24 h after S. aureus administration
