Figure Lengend Snippet: Naringin inhibits JAK2/STAT3 signaling and restores tight junction proteins in dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis. (A) Representative western blotting images of p-JAK2, JAK2, p-STAT3, STAT3, IL-6, occludin, ZO-1 and β-actin expression in colon tissues. Densitometric semi-quantification of the relative protein expression levels of (B) p-JAK2/β-actin, (C) JAK2/β-actin, (D) p-JAK2/JAK2, (E) p-STAT3/β-actin, (F) STAT3/β-actin, (G) p-STAT3/STAT3, (H) IL-6/β-actin, (I) occludin/β-actin and (J) ZO-1/β-actin. Data are presented as mean ± SEM. n=3. *P<0.05 and **P<0.01 vs. control group; # P<0.05 and ## P<0.01 vs. normal group. One-way ANOVA followed by Tukey's post-hoc test was applied. N, normal group; C, control group; Nar, naringin group; Mes, mesalazine group; p-, phosphorylated; JAK2, Janus kinase 2; STAT3, signal transducer and activator of transcription 3; IL-6, ZO-1, zona occludens-1.

Article Snippet: Membranes were subsequently incubated separately with primary antibodies for p-JAK2 (1:1,000; cat. no. bs-2485R; BIOSS), JAK2 (1:1,000; cat. no. bs-0908R; BIOSS), p-STAT3 (1:1,000; cat. no. bs-1658R; BIOSS), STAT3 (1:1,000; cat. no. bs-55208R; BIOSS), occludin (1:1,000; cat. no. A2601; ABclonal Biotech Co., Ltd.), ZO-1 (1:1,000; cat. no. A0659; ABclonal Biotech Co., Ltd.) and β-actin (1:1,000; cat. no. ab8227; Abcam), and then with HRP-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG secondary antibody (1:5,000; cat. no. ab6721; Abcam).

(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.
