Expression of claudin 2, occludin and aquaporin 3 in mouse small intestine. (A,D,G) Protein expression of occludin, claudin 2 and aquaporin 3 in mouse small intestine was determined by immunofluorescence microscopy and visualized at total 200X; scale 50 μm in tissues obtained from mice treated with vehicle control (CONT, n = 6); mice treated with GW chemicals (GW, n = 9) mice co-exposed with GW chemicals and antibiotics (GW + AB, n = 9) and mice treated with GW chemicals, Sparstolonin B (SsnB) and Sodium butyrate (GW + SsnB + BT) (n = 6). (C,F,I) Higher magnification images for GW chemical treated group (GW) focusing on the apical or apical-lateral membranes total magnification 600X; scale 20 μm). (B,E,H) Quantitative morphometric analysis of immunoreactivity of occludin or aquaporin 3 is represented as (% ROI) (P < 0.05).
