Influence of LPS injection on VE-cadherin protein expression in mouse kidney and lung.

Mice were i.p. injected with LPS at 0.5 mg/kg (1,500 EU/g) bodyweight and sacrificed 4, 8, and 24 h later. VE-cadherin protein was determined using Western blot and β-actin was used as a loading control and quantified in kidney (A) and lung (B). Data are presented as mean VE-cadherin/β-actin ratio ± SD (n = 5 animals/group). Significance P < 0.05.
