Figure Lengend Snippet: Naringin suppresses JAK2/STAT3 activation in IL-6-stimulated Caco-2 cells with STAT3 silencing. (A) Western blot analysis of p-JAK2, JAK2, p-STAT3, STAT3, occludin and ZO-1 in Caco-2 cells under indicated treatments. (B) Validation of STAT3 knockdown efficiency: Relative STAT3 expression in cells transfected with siSTAT3 vs. siNC. ## P<0.01 vs. siNC. Densitometric semi-quantification of relative protein expression levels of (C) p-JAK2/β-actin, (D) JAK2/β-actin, (E) p-JAK2/JAK2, (F) p-STAT3/β-actin, (G) STAT3/β-actin, (H) p-STAT3/ STAT3, (I) occludin/β-actin, (J) ZO-1/β-actin. Data are presented as mean ± SEM. n=3. *P<0.05 and **P<0.01 vs. IL-6 group; ## P<0.01 vs. normal group; Δ P<0.05 and ΔΔ P<0.01 IL-6 + Nar group vs. IL-6 + Nar + siSTAT3 group. One-way ANOVA followed by Tukey's post-hoc test was applied. N, normal group; Nar, naringin group; Mes, mesalazine group; p-, phosphorylated; JAK2, Janus kinase 2; STAT3, signal transducer and activator of transcription 3; ZO-1, zona occludens-1; si, small interfering RNA; NC, negative control.
