Disrupted NF-κB activation after partial hepatectomy does not impair hepatocyte proliferation in rats

Figure 4 Effect of saline, PDTC and PTX on Stat3 DNA binding activity. No Stat3 DNA binding activity was identified in controls (C). Injection of saline, PDTC or PTX enhanced the binding at 1 h. At 0.5 h after PH, strong Stat3 DNA binding was observed in rats injected with saline, PDTC or PTX. Supershift experiments with a Stat3 specific antibody confirmed that Stat3 is the principal compound of these DNA-binding complexes.
