Baicalein inhibited NF-κB pathway in TNBS-induced mice. (A) Colon segments from mice were excised and homogenized. The supernatants were assayed for the determination of the activity of MPO. (B) mRNA expression of iNOS, ICAM-1, MCP-1, COX-2, TNF-α, and IL-1β in colonic tissue was determined by qRT-PCR. Expression was normalized to β-actin. (C) Representative images of p-p65 immunostaining in colonic tissue. Scale bar corresponds to 50 μm and applies throughout. (D) The mean intensity of p-p65 staining was determined by image analysis and was represented as optical density. Data were expressed as mean ± SD (n = 6). ###p < 0.001 vs. vehicle-treated group; *P < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 vs. TNBS-treated group.
