Effect of antibiotic regimen and FMT on gut permeability. (A) Elisa assay for LBP in plasma samples. Analysis of occludin (B) and Zo-1(C) gene expression on colon samples by RT-quantitative PCR. The mRNA expression was normalized to β-actin, and fold changes were expressed in comparison with the control group. (A) Each value is the mean ± SEM of 3 or 5 (vehicle + vehicle group) animals per group; (B and C) Each value is the mean ± SEM of 6 (donors, day 7 and day 32) or 4 (day 46) animals per group. Statistical analysis was one-way analysis of variance followed by Bonferroni post hoc comparison. *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01 vs vehicle-treated animals. abx, antibiotics; CTR, control animals; DNBS, dinitrobenzenesulfonic acid; FMT, faecal microbiota transplantation LBP, lipopolysaccharide-binding protein; mRNA, messenger RNA.
