Figure 3

The effect of curcumin on NPC1L1 protein expression in Caco-2 cells. In the upper panel, the cells were treated with curcumin at different concentrations for 24 h, and the whole-cell lysates were analyzed by Western blot. The results are representative of three independent experiments. In the lower panel, NPC1L1 mRNA abundance was determined by real-time RT-PCR as described in Methods. Expression values were normalized to housekeeping genes, and expression in untreated cells was set to 1. Values shown represent means ± SEM of three independent experiments, * P < 0.01, ** P < 0.001 compared to untreated cells.
