The loss expression of tight junction protein occludin post-MI leads to intestinal mucosal injury. a The mRNA levels of occludin in colon tissues are decreased post-infarction. n = 5 for each group. b Western blot analysis of occludin protein expression in relative to GAPDH in the colon from MI mice. n = 5 for each group. c Representative immunofluorescence images of occludin (green) in the intestinal epithelium of MI mice. Nuclei are stained with DAPI (blue), and scale bars are 50 μm. d Transmission electron microscope image of sections from the intestinal epithelium of MI mice. Scale bars are 1 μm. Data are presented as mean ± s.e.m. *P < 0.05, vs respective shams, t test
