Effect of LB on epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in rats induced with TNBS. a Masson’s trichrome staining assay was performed to investigate the fibrotic changes histopathologically of colonic tissues of CD rats from different groups. b Western blotting assay was carried out to examine the expression levels of EMT-related proteins, including Slug, Snail, N-cadherin, E-cadherin and Vimentin of colonic tissues of CD rats from different groups. The band intensity was quantified by Image J software. F = 0.7712, df = 29. c Immunohistochemistry assay was performed to evaluate the expression levels of EMT-related proteins in colonic tissues of CD rats from different groups. F = 1.989, df = 29. The results were expressed as the mean ± SD of at least three experiments. ##P < 0.01 compared with the control group. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 compared with the model group
