Objective To investigate whether vitamin D3 (VD3) can alleviate Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection by reducing blood lipids and inhibiting the Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (JAK/STAT3) signaling pathway. Methods High-cholesterol mouse model and Hp infected mouse model were established. Each was treated with VD3 via oral administration for 8 weeks.

BEAS-2B cells were stimulated with lipopolysaccharide to establish an inflammatory injury model. Real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to detect lincRNA-Cox2 expression in LPS-stimulated BEAS-2B.

Follistatin-like protein 1 (FSTL1) is involved in multiple inflammatory processes, but its role in airway inflammation has not been fully elucidated.
Methods: We used lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to stimulate human primary bronchial epithelial (BEAS-2B) cells to establish an in vitro airway inflammation model.
