Comparison of the Effects of Essential Oil Obtained from the Crude and Bran-Processed Atractylodes lancea on Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Inflammatory Injury of Human Colonic Epithelial Cells by Downregulating the IKK/NF-κB Signaling Pathway

Figure 6

The mRNA expressions of IKK-α (a), NF-κB (b), IL-4 (c), IL-6 (d), IL-8 (e), and TNF-α (f) in the cell incubated for 24, 48, and 72 h were determined by quantitative RT-PCR. Fold changes of mRNA levels of target genes related to endogenous reference β-actin were calculated. Data were expressed as mean ± SD (n = 6). versus the LPS group, and versus the crude AL group of the same concentration.
