Immunoblotting analysis of NF-κB, NFATc1, and caspase-3 in bone tissue samples: representative immunoblots are shown (a, d) and normalized to β-actin. The bar graphs of NF-κB (b), NFATc1 (c), procaspase-3 (e) and its active subunit p17 (f) are demonstrated as arithmetic means ± SEM (n = 6/group): 1 – bone tissue of healthy persons (control group); 2 – bone tissue, that was taken near the healthy tooth in patients with tooth impaction; 3 – bone tissue, collected near the impacted tooth. Experiments were performed in triplicate and *p < 0.05 denotes significance compared with control, #p < 0.05 denotes significance compared with bone tissue taken near the healthy tooth in patients with tooth impaction
