Differential Influence of Inositol Hexaphosphate on the Expression of Genes Encoding TGF-β Isoforms and Their Receptors in Intestinal Epithelial Cells Stimulated with Proinflammatory Agents

Figure 5

Expression of TβRII gene in Caco-2 cells as determined by real-time RT-PCR. Changes in TβRII mRNA expression in Caco-2 cells after treatment with (a) proinflammatory agents and (b) proinflammatory agents and 2.5 mM IP6 for 3 h and 12 h. The results are presented as mean ± SD of three separate experiments; versus control Caco-2 cells; versus proinflammatory agents-stimulated cells.
