Fig. 3

The expression levels of (A) occludin and (B) claudin-7 genes in the Caco-2 cell line co-incubated with B3STA, 24 h after exposure. Statistically significant downregulation was seen in claudin-7. Claudin-7 is known as sealing factor and plays important role in reducing the gut permeability. **** P value < 0.0001. Caco-2: human colon carcinoma; B3STA: Blastocystis sp., ST3 soluble total antigen. Comparisons were carried out using the Student’s t-test
