Compared to the negative control group, positive TUNEL staining cells began decreasing at 7 days and few apoptotic cells were observed at 10 days in FOXO4-DRI (25 M) addition group
In one investigation, GHK-Cu was speculated to upregulate tight junction proteins ZO-1 and occludin in a co-culture model of epithelial-macrophage interaction (via the SIRT1/STAT3 pathway), thereby supporting tissue-barrier integrity in inflamed mucosa
