Intestinal VDR expression in mice under physiological condition and IR exposure. (A) Representative immunohistochemistry (IHC) image of VDR staining in intestines of mice. Scale bar, 200 μm. (B) Representative IF pictures of VDR expression of mouse intestine. Scale bar, 50 μm. (C) VDR mRNA expression in the intestines of mice at 0, 5 h, 72 h, 96 h and 120 h after 12 Gy IR was evaluated by RT-qPCR. n = 6 per group. (D) VDR protein expression in intestines of mice at different times of 0, 5 h, 3 d (days), 4 d and 5 d after 12 Gy IR was assessed by WB. Quantitative analysis of WB of VDR expression. Values are means ± SD. * p < 0.05.
