Effects of B. coagulans MZY531 on ZO-1 intestinal barrier pathway in ileum of immunosuppressed mice. The protein expression of Claudin-1, Occludin and ZO-1 in the ileal were detected by western blot (A). The ratios of ZO-1/β-actin (B), Occludin/β-actin (C) and Claudin-1/β-actin (D) protein bands for each region were quantified using densitometry and presented in the graph. All data were statistically analyzed using a one-way analysis of variance and Tukey multiple comparison. #P < 0.05 and ##P < 0.01 vs. control group; *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01 vs. CYP group.
