Expressions of ZO-1, claudin-5 and AQP-4 proteins analyzed by Western blot. High expression levels of ZO-1 and claudin-5 proteins were observed in rat brain tissue in NC group. CO poisoning can markedly decrease the expressions of ZO-1 and claudin-5 proteins both in CO group and NBP+CO group at early stage after exposure to CO. By contrast, NBP administration can significantly increase the levels of both ZO-1 and claudin-5 target proteins compared with those in CO group at the same time (n = 4, P < 0.05). (A) The expressions of ZO-1, claudin-5, AQP-4 and β-actin proteins by Western Blot assay. Lane 1: NC group; Lane 2: day 1 in CO group; Lane 3: day 3 in CO group; Lane 4: day 7 in CO group; Lane 5: day 1 in NBP+CO group; Lane 6: day 3 in NBP+CO group; Lane 7: day 7 in NBP+CO group. (B) The relative A values of ZO-1 protein; (C) The relative A values of claudin-5 protein; (D) The relative A values of AQP-4 protein. Compared with NC group, P < 0.05; # compared with CO group at the same time point, P < 0.05 (F = 11.989∼33.472).
