Fig. 4From: PGC-1α regulates airway epithelial barrier dysfunction induced by house dust miteEffect of SRT1720 on mitochondrial mass and expressions of junctional proteins mediated by HDM. a, b Localization of E-cadherin, ZO-1 and the mitochondrial mass in the cells after exposure to HDM were analyzed by immunofluorescence. Representative confocal microscopic images are shown. The cells were stained with E-cadherin (green), ZO-1 (green), MitoTracker (red), and nuclear counterstain Hoechst33342 (blue). Bars: 100 μm. c–e The mean fluorescence intensity of E-cadherin, ZO-1, MitoTracker were quantified using ImageJ. Data are expressed as means ± SD. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01Back to article page
