Effect of Puerarin, Baicalin and Berberine Hydrochloride on the Regulation of IPEC-J2 Cells Infected with Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli

Figure 1

Cytotoxicity of puerarin, baicalin, and berberine hydrochloride in IPEC-J2 cells. Treatment with puerarin at 200 μg/mL for 48 h did not significantly change the viability of IPEC-J2 cells (a). Treatment with baicalin at concentrations from 1 ng/mL to 1 μg/mL markedly promoted IPEC-J2 cell proliferation without causing cytotoxicity (b). At concentrations of 100 μg/mL or less berberine hydrochloride was found to be safe for treating IPEC-J2 cells for 48 h (c). Data are mean ± SEM, n = 6 per treatment (P < 0.05 versus control group; P < 0.01 versus control group).
