The BBR-associated differential metabolite LPC contributes to cell proliferation and cell junction impairment. (A) Cell growth curves of the CRC cell lines HCT116, HCT-8, SW480, and the normal intestinal epithelial cell line IEC-6, with or without LPC treatment. (B) HCT 116 cells and HCT 8 cells with or without LPC treatment were analyzed with flow cytometry. (C) Expression of β-catenin and PCNA in HCT 8 cells and HCT 116 cells with or without LPC treatment. (D) Expression of IL-6 and p-STAT3 in Raw 264.7 cells with or without LPC treatment. (E) Expression of occludin and E-cadherin in HCT-8 cells and HCT-116 cells co-cultured with Raw264.7 cells with or without LPC treatment. (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.001, ***p < 0.001).
