RESULTS
3.1 G31P restricts THP-1 monocytes proliferation and CXCL8-CXCR1/2 expressions
3.2 G31P treatments down-regulate inflammatory cytokines expression in LPS induced inflammation of THP-1 monocytes
3.3 G31P treatment down-regulates mRNA expression of inflammatory associated enzymes and restricts monocyte-derived macrophage migration in LPS induced THP-1 cells
3.4 G31P regulates inflammatory associated transcription factors
3.5 G31P regulates inflammatory cytokines expression via AKT1,ERK1/2,and ROS pathways
3.6 G31P and G31P+LACT treatments protect against DSS induced UC
3.7 G31P and G31P+LACT treatments differentially inhibit inflammatory cytokines in DSS induced UC
3.8 G31P and G31P+LACT treatments restrict immune cells trafficking to in flamed colonin DSS induced UC
3.9 G31P and G31P+LACT treatments improved colonic fibrosis,and enhanced tight junction proteins expression in DSS induced colitis
3.10 G31P and G31P+LACT treatments modulate Egr1 and HI-1α expressions via ERK and AKTpathways respectively
