Pam3CSK4 exacerbated learning-memory dysfunction and stimulated the TLR2/NFκB signaling pathway and IL-10 secretion in HIBD rats. a Diagram illustrating the experimental protocols of treatments and tests used in the rats. b-c The escape latencies and path lengths to reach the visible platform on the first day of the Morris water maze test for the HIBD and Pam3CSK4 groups. d The escape latencies to reach the visible platform on the 2nd through the 5th days of the Morris water maze test for the Pam3CSK4-treated and HIBD groups. e The duration spent in the hidden platform quadrant by the Pam3CSK4-treated and HIBD groups. n = 20 in each group. f-g The Pam3CSK4-induced mRNA and protein expression levels of TLR2, NFκB P65 and Bax in the brains of 4-week-old rats. n = 5 in each group. h The quantifications of WB signal in G. i IL-10 release in the brains of 4-week-old rats in HIBD and Pam3CSK4 groups. n = 6 in each group. # P < 0.05 vs. the HIBD group
