Fig. 4From: Sijunzi Decoction attenuates 2, 4, 6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced colitis in rats and ameliorates TNBS-induced claudin-2 damage via NF-κB pathway in Caco2 cellsEffect of SJZDS on barrier function of Caco2 cells monolayers. a SJZDS significantly increased the TEER of Caco2 cells monolayers. b SJZDS markedly attenuated the phenolsulfonphthalein flux across the epithelia monolayers. Data represented the mean ± SEM of at least three independent experiments (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 vs. control Caco2 cells group; #P < 0.05, ##P < 0.01 vs. TNBS-damaged Caco2 cells group)Back to article page
