Effects of chronic heat stress on the expression of STING, NF-kB pathway, and related genes. a mRNA levels of MDA5, STING, IRF7, MAVS, and NF-kB, b mRNA levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IFN-β, IFN-γ, IL-1β, and IL-12) and chemokines (IL-8, CCL2, CCL4 and CCL20). The mRNA expression levels were quantified by real-time quantitative PCR and normalized to 18S rRNA. n = 8 in each group. Statistical analysis was performed using a Student’s t-test. *P < 0.05
