PCP improved the intestinal epithelial barrier damaged by 5-FU. A H&E, Alcian blue, and lysozyme stains of the intestine. Alcian blue staining was used to detect the goblet cells. Anti-lysozyme staining was used to detect Paneth cells. The dark brown staining at the bottom of the crypts indicates the location of Paneth cells; B IHC staining of occluding and ZO-1. The positive stains were presented in dark brown staining. Scale bar = 100 μm; C The mRNA expressions of E-cadherin, N-cadherin, occluding, ZO-1, ICAM-1, and VCAM-1 by qRT-PCR; Data are presented as the mean ± SD, n = 3. *p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001
