NBD combined with FMT up-regulated tight junction protein expression in colitic rats. (A,B) The expression of occludin (A) and ZO-1 (B) mRNA was down-regulated in the DSS group but up-regulated by NBD combined with FMT, n = 6. (C) Western blotting indicated that NBD combined with FMT elevated the protein expression of occludin and ZO-1 beyond that in DSS-induced rats with UC, n = 3. (D) Representative images of DAPI (blue), occludin and ZO-1 immunostaining (red) in colonic sections (× 200 magnification). Data are expressed as mean ± SEM, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001
