Fig. 2From: Severe burn injury alters intestinal microbiota composition and impairs intestinal barrier in miceSevere burn changed tight junction proteins’ expressions. The expressions of tight junction proteins were assessed by Western blot after 30% total body surface area (TBSA) burn injury. a–c Burn injury significantly decreased the protein expressions of zonula occludens (ZO)-1, occludin, and claudin-1. d Burn injury significantly increased the expression of claudin-2 protein. Data represent the mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM) (occludin, n = 6; ZO-1, claudin-1, claudin-2, n = 5 ), *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 as compared with control, analyzed using Dunnett's t test. Ctrl stands for control group, 1H, 6H stands for 1-h, 6-h post-burn group 1D, 3D, 5D, 7D stands for 1-day, 3-day, 5-day, 7-day post-burn groupBack to article page
