Protective Role of Somatostatin in Sepsis-Induced Intestinal Barrier Dysfunction through Inhibiting the Activation of NF-κB Pathway

Figure 2

SST prevented the reduction of tight junction protein expressions and the activation of NF-κB p65: (a) western blot analysis of tight junction proteins, ZO-1 and Claudin-1, in the ileum; (b, c) western blot and immunohistochemistry analysis of NF-κB p65 in the ileum. Magnification: 100x. Scale bar: 200 μm. Data were shown as the from 3 independent experiments. , vs. sham; ^###, vs. model. ZO-1: zonula occludens 1; SST: somatostatin.
