Protective effect of NZ9000SHD-5 on intestinal tight junctions in vitro. a Changes in TEER in Caco-2 cell monolayers exposed to different treatment was determined at 1, 2, 4, 8, 12 and 24 h. b FITC-dextrum quantification was compared between groups. Relative changes of gene expression of c zo-1 and d occludin were measured by real-time PCR. e Expression of TJ-related proteins in Caco-2 cells. f Cytoskeleton integrity, with zo-1 shown in green and occludin in red. Differences between groups were determined by ANOVA followed by the post hoc LSD test (n = 6). *p < 0.05 as compared to the DSS group. #p < 0.05 as compared to the NZ9000 group
