Severe 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 group
