Background: Previous studies have demonstrated that Luteolin has a positive effect on epithelial barrier integrity by promoting the function of tight protein, however, little is known about the underline mechanism of Luteolin. In this study, we constructed Caco-2 cell monolayer to explore the effects and the regulation mechanism of Luteolin in intestinal epithelial barrier integrity.
Methods: Caco-2 cells were co-treated with TNF-α, Interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and Luteolin for 24 h.
