Effect of TGFβ inhibition on H. pylori-induced CFTR and SLC26A6 protein expression decreases in SCBN cells. SCBN cells were treated with H. pylori at a MOI value of 400 for 24 h. TGFβ inhibitor SB431542 (10 μM) was added at 10 min before H. pylori. Upper panels are representative blots and lower panels are the comparisons of expression levels between groups. Values are mean ± SE in each series. ^#P > 0.05, **P < 0.01 compared to controls
