(A) The viability of the BEECs following treatment with different concentrations (0, 1, 5, 10, 20 and 30 µg/mL) and times (6, 12 and 24 h) of LPS. The cell viability was measured by CCK-8 method. (B) The BEECs were treated with LPS (10 µg/ml) for 24 h and the cell apoptosis was significantly increased. (C) The BCL-2/BAX protein ratio was significantly decreased in the LPS group. *, p < 0.05, **, p < 0.01 and ***, p < 0.001 vs. the control group. Data were presented as the mean ± SEM. Original blots were presented in Supplementary Info File 1. The blots were cut prior to hybridization with antibodies. The samples derive from the same experiment and that blots were processed in parallel
