Effects of Korean red ginseng (KRG) and Rg3 on mucin protein expression in bronchial epithelial cells (BEAS-2B). 100 μg/mL Asian sand dust (ASD) significantly enhanced MUC5AC (A), MUC5B (B), and MUC8 (C) protein expression in BEAS-2B cells, which was suppressed by KRG and Rg3. NC; negative control, *; p < 0.05 compared with NC, †; p < 0.05 compared with ASD stimulated group, n = 5.
