Figure 6. Elucidation of SHP2 and PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway proteinic levels in macrophages across experimental cohorts via western blotting techniques. (A) Protein bands representing SHP-2, phosphorylated PI3K, total PI3K, phosphorylated AKT, total AKT, phosphorylated mTOR, and total mTOR. (B) Comparative proteinic expression levels of SHP-2, the ratio of phosphorylated to total PI3K, the ratio of phosphorylated to total AKT, and the ratio of phosphorylated to total mTOR. P-value is less than 0.05; P-value is greater than 0.05.
