TUNEL staining. (a); IEC-6 cells treated with hydrogen peroxide or indomethacin showed typical morphological features of apoptotic cells with condensed and fragment nuclei. When IEC-6 cells were pretreated with TJ-43, apoptosis was apparently suppressed. (b); Ratio of apoptotic cells significantly reduced in IEC-6 cells treated with TJ-43 compared with control cells (untreated IEC-6 cells). Values are means ± SEM. *𝑃<0.05, **𝑃<0.01 compared with control cells (IEC-6-mock cells).
