Inhibiting ER stress prevents the loss of TJ and AJ proteins in diabetic rats after SCI. (A,B) Western blot and quantification of p120 and β-catenin in each group, n = 6. (C) Immunofluorescence staining of p120 and CD31 in each group, n = 4. Scale bar = 10 μm. (D,E) Western blot and quantification of Occludin and Claudin-5 in each group, n = 6. (F) Immunofluorescence staining of Claudin-5 in each group, n = 4. Scale bar = 10 μm. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 vs SCI group, ##p < 0.01 vs SCI + DM group.
