Figure 4

Alteration of gap junctional proteins after multiple trauma. (A) Representative distribution of connexin 43 (Cx43) in cardiac tissue in pigs after sham (left) procedure or after multiple trauma followed by DCO (middle) or ETC (right) treatment. (B) Representative immunfluorescence staining and confocal imaging of Cx43 (green) and ZO-1 (red), blue staining of nuclei with DAPI, in cardiac tissue of pigs after sham procedure (left) or after multiple trauma followed by DCO (middle) or ETC (right) treatment. (C) Representative western blot of Cx43 in left ventricular homogenates of sham treated pigs (white bar) or pigs after DCO (grey bar) or ETC (black bar). *p < 0.05, n = 6 each bar.
