Eda.B and DNase I administration alleviated degradation of TJ-associated protein in MCAO mouse cortex. (a, b) mRNA expression of occludin and claudin5 in mouse cortex at day 1 and day 3 after stroke. (c, d) Protein levels of occludin and claudin5 at day 1 and day 3 after stroke. Representative bands are on the left. (e, f) Representative images of sections stained with claudin5 or occludin (red), CD-31 (green), and DAPI (blue). μm. Mean fluorescence intensity is on the bottom. (MCAO group vs. Sham group), (MCAO group vs. Sham group), # (Eda.B group or DNase I group vs. MCAO group), and ## (Eda.B group or DNase I group vs. MCAO group), in each group.
