Figure Lengend Snippet: PAE attenuates the disruption of tight junction proteins in HCoEpic cells by regulating activated Notch1-mediated Th17/Treg imbalance in vitro . (A) Effect of VPA on the viability of Jurkat T cells analyzed with CCK8 assay. (B) Effect of PAE on the viability of Jurkat cells analyzed with CCK-8 assay. (C) Western blot images of Notch1, Math1, RORγt, and Foxp3 in Jurkat T cells. (D–G) Analysis of gray-scale of Notch1, Math1, RORγt, and Foxp3 protein expression. (H) After notch1-activated Jurkat T cells were co-cultured with HCoEpic cells, Western blot images of occluding, claudin1, and ZO1 in HCoEpic cells. (I–K) Analysis of gray-scale of occluding, claudin1, and ZO1 protein expression. (n = 5–8, * P < 0.05 and ** P < 0.01 versus control group, # P < 0.05 and ## P < 0.01 versus VPA group).
