Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of PQQ treatment on ENR‐induced intestinal barrier damage. (A, B) Representative immunofluorescence images of Cdkn1a and quantification. (C, D) Representative immunofluorescence images of Cdkn2a and quantification. (E, F) Periodic Acid–Schiff (PAS) staining of zebrafish intestinal tissues and quantitative analysis. (G, H) Zebrafish intestinal barrier integrity assessed using the Smurf assay. (I–O) Representative immunofluorescence images of intestinal tight junction proteins (Mucin‐2, Occludin, ZO‐1, Claudin) and quantification. (P, Q) Western blot analysis and quantification of intestinal TNF‐α protein levels. Data are presented as the mean ± standard error of the mean. Statistical significance among the Control, ENR, and ENR + PQQ groups was assessed using one‐way ANOVA followed by Tukey's multiple‐comparisons test. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001.
Article Snippet: Intestinal tissues were fixed (4% paraformaldehyde, 15 min), blocked (10% goat serum albumin, 0.4% Triton X‐100), and incubated with primary antibodies from Servicebio: Cdkn1a (GB11153, 1:300), Cdkn2a ( GB151143 , 1:300), Tomm20 ( GB151481 , 1:1000), Grp75 ( GB112273 , 1:650), Cox5a ( GB111676 , 1:500), Hsp60 ( GB112464 , 1:800), Cox4 (GB11250, 1:200), CD3 (GB13014, 1:100), Mucin‐2 (GB11344, 1:500), Occludin ( GB111401 , 1:750), Zo‐1 ( GB115686 , 1:1000), and Claudin‐1 ( GB112543 , 1:1000).
