Cimifugin suppresses allergic inflammation by reducing epithelial derived initiative key factors via regulating tight junctions
This study aims to determine the mechanism of cimifugin on epithelial cells in allergic inflammation. Mice were sensitized and challenged with FITC to establish type 2 atopic dermatitis (AD) model. The initial stage of AD model, in which mice were just sensitized with FITC, was established in vivo and immortalized human epidermal (HaCaT) cells were utilized in vitro. Initiative key cytokines, TSLP and IL‐33, were measured by ELISA, the junctions in ECs were observed by electron microscopy and TJs (CLDN‐1, occludin and CLDND1) were assessed by Western blot, immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence. The results show...
