Mitochondrial dysfunction in patients with celiac disease: A multidimensional study

Figure 3 Expression of mitochondrial fusion and fission proteins (n = 3 per group for western blotting). A: Western blot analysis showed that the fusion proteins OPA1, MFN1, and MFN2 were expressed in the intestinal mucosa of the celiac disease group; B-D: Quantitative analysis of the fusion proteins OPA1 (B), MFN1 (C), and MFN2 (D); E: Western blot analysis showed that the fission-promoting proteins DRP1, p-DRP1 (the activated form), and FIS1 were expressed in the intestinal mucosa of the celiac disease group; F-H: Quantitative analysis of the fission-promoting proteins p-DRP1 (F), DRP1 (G), and FIS1 (H). Bar charts represent relative protein expression normalized to β-actin (n = 3 per group). Data are presented as mean ± SD. β-actin was used as a loading control. HC: Healthy control; CeD: Celiac disease.
