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

Figure 4

Changes of the number of attached ETEC and Organelles in IPEC-J2 cells. Effect of puerarin (200 μg/mL), baicalin (1 μg/mL), and berberine hydrochloride (100 μg/mL) on the number of attached ETEC (a), the rate of swollen mitochondria / normal mitochondria (b) and the number of lysosomes (c) in IPEC-J2 cells infected with ETEC. Control: untreated cells; ETEC: treatment with ETEC for 3 h; puerarin: pretreatment with puerarin 200 μg/mL + ETEC; baicalin: pretreatment with baicalin 1 μg/mL + ETEC; berberine: pretreatment with berberine hydrochloride 100 μg/mL + ETEC. Data are mean ± SEM, n = 3 per treatment (P < 0.05; P < 0.01).
