Figure 2. (A) RAW264.7 cells were treated with LPS for three hours, and STAT3 tyrosine (Y705) and<br />

serine (S727) phosphorylation were analyzed by Western-blot. Total STAT3 protein w<strong>as</strong> used <strong>as</strong> a loading<br />

control. (B) JAK2 inhibition by AG490 prevents LPS-induced STAT3 tyrosine (Y705) phosphorylation<br />

in a concentration dependent manner. <strong>The</strong> upper panel shows a representative Western-blot, while the<br />

lower panel represents the densitometric data <strong>of</strong> three different experiments represented in mean ±<br />

STD. (C) RAW264.7 cells transfected with the NF-kB gene reporter were pretreated with different<br />

concentrations <strong>of</strong> the JAK2 inhibitor AG490 30 minutes prior to 3 hrs <strong>of</strong> 10ng/ml LPS stimulation. NF-kB<br />

activity w<strong>as</strong> analyzed by luminescence.<br />
