Effect of TCE on the H2O2-induced (a) phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinases, (b) c-Jun phosphorylation and c-Fos, (c) matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1, − 3, − 9, (d) hemeoxygenase-1 (HO-1), (e) cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and (f) type I procollagen protein expressions in Hs68. Significant difference versus control: *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001. Significant inhibition versus H2O2-exposed group: #p < 0.05; ##p < 0.01; ###p < 0.001. EGCG: (−)-epigallocatechin gallate was used as a positive control
