3.3.1. PPs Restore LPS-Induced Intestinal Epithelial Barrier Damage
CELL DAMAGE, DYSFUNCTION
To verify the effect of LPS on epithelial barrier dysfunction, we evaluated (1) the expression of occludin, an integral membrane tight junction protein with a crucial role in the tight junction structure and permeability [Finally, pre-treatment of cells with an inhibitor of TLR4 (TAK-242) significantly reduced LPS-mediated cell damage (
