Danggui-Baishao herb pair protects against dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis by modulating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway

Figure 3 Herb pair reinforced intestinal barrier in colitis mice. A-E: Western blotting analysis of protein expression of Occludin, Claudin1, Claudin2, and E-cadherin in colon tissues; F: Fluorescein isothiocyanate-dextran fluorescence intensity in serum; G: Expression level of lipopolysaccharide in serum; H: Representative images of Alcian blue (AB) staining and AB-periodic acid schiff (PAS) staining of colon tissues; I and J: Quantitative analysis of AB staining and AB-PAS staining. For western blotting analysis: n = 3, for fluorescein isothiocyanate analysis: n = 5-7, for lipopolysaccharide measurement: n = 7, for AB staining and AB-PAS staining: n = 3. ^aP < 0.05 vs dextran sulfate sodium group, ^bP < 0.01 vs dextran sulfate sodium group, ^cP < 0.001 vs dextran sulfate sodium group. DSS: Dextran sulfate sodium; GAPDH: Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase; LPS: Lipopolysaccharide; AB: Alcian blue; PAS: Periodic acid Schiff.
