The effects of a P2X7R blockade on intestinal permeability and bacterial translocation. In vivo and in vitro permeability and bacterial translocation were assessed at 48 hours after CLP. (A) Mice in each group were fasted for 4 hours and then administered FD-40. Serum FD-40 was measured to evaluate in vivo permeability. (B,C) The in vitro permeability of the mouse intestines was measured by performing Ussing Chamber Analyses. (D) The MLN, CLN, blood, and PF were collected and cultured at 37 °C for 24 hours. The culture results of bacterial growth were considered positive when more than 102 colonies/g of tissue were found. N = 6 mice per group. The data are expressed as the means ± SD. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 and ***p < 0.001 when compared among the different groups.
