Fig. 4From: An engineering probiotic producing defensin-5 ameliorating dextran sodium sulfate-induced mice colitis via Inhibiting NF-kB pathwayProtective effect of NZ9000SHD-5 on tight junction structure and function in vivo. Relative mRNA expression of a ZO-1 and b Occludin. c Protein expression levels of ZO-1 and Occludin in colon tissues. d Quantification of serum FITC-dextran. Differences between groups were determined by ANOVA followed by the post hoc LSD test (n = 6). *p < 0.05 as compared to the DSS group. #p < 0.05 as compared to the NZ9000 groupBack to article page
