Figure Lengend Snippet: Breakdown of intestinal mucosal physical barrier and immune barrier in UC Rat models. (A) Representative immunofluorescence staining of α-SMA, Vinculin and CD61 associated with tight junctions in colon tissue and (C, D, E) their relative fluorescence intensity. (B) Representative immunofluorescence staining of iNOS, CD206 and CD68 associated with macrophage typing in colon tissue and (F, G) their relative fluorescence intensity. Scale bar = 200 μm. Data represented as mean ± SD (error bars) (C, D, E, F, G) from biological replicates. ns: not significant, ∗ p < 0.05, ∗∗ p < 0.01, ∗∗∗ p < 0.001.
Article Snippet: Specifically, consecutive sections were permeated with 0.1 % TritonX-100 for 20 min. For tight junction protein, using anti-α-SMA antibody (1:200, 67735-1-Ig, Proteintech), anti-Vinculin antibody (1:200, 66305-1-Ig, Proteintech), and anti-CD61 antibody (1:200, 18309-1-AP, Proteintech); For osteogenic indicators, using anti-Runx2 antibody (1:200, 20700-1-AP, Proteintech), anti-Sp7 antibody (1:200, ab209484, Abcam), and OPN antibody (1:200, 22952-1-AP, Proteintech); For macrophage markers, using anti-iNOS antibody (1:200, 18985-1-AP, Proteintech), anti-CD206 antibody (1:200, 18704-1-AP, Proteintech), and anti-CD68 antibody (1:200, 28058-1-AP) to incubate with samples, followed by incubation with the fluorescently labeled secondary antibody and DAPI.
