PARK7 Diminishes Oxidative Stress-Induced Mucosal Damage in Celiac Disease

Figure 4

Cytoskeletal disruption of intestinal mucosa in celiac disease (CD) and of duodenal epithelial cells. Actin filament structure was investigated by phalloidin (orange) staining in duodenal mucosa of children with CD and controls (a) and in FHs74Int duodenal epithelial cells (b) after treatment with H2O2 (1000 μM) in the absence or presence of Comp23 (0.001 μM). Cell nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (blue). White arrows indicate burst cells. Scale bar: 500 μm, 100 μm, and 50 μm. The percent of intact and damaged cells (c) was determined by graphical analysis. Results are presented as the percentage of total cells in a field of view (/treatment group). vs. control+Ø compound; vs. H2O2+Ø compound (chi-square test).
