RETRACTED ARTICLE: Baicalin relieves inflammation stimulated by lipopolysaccharide via upregulating TUG1 in liver cells

Hepatitis has become a major social, health, and economic problem worldwide. Herein, we tested the beneficial influence of baicalin, a flavonoid extracted from the roots of Scutellaria baicalensis, on human normal liver L-02 and THLE2 cell apoptosis and inflammatory reaction stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and possible molecular mechanisms. L-02 and THLE2 cell viability and apoptosis after LPS and/or baicalin treatment were tested using...
