Figure 13 Effect of massage on the expression and spatial distribution of myosin light chain kinase, myosin light chain, and E-cadherin in duodenal tissue of rabbits with functional dyspepsia (immunofluorescence, × 20/× 40).
Representative immunofluorescence images show 4’,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole -stained nuclei (blue), myosin light chain kinase (green), myosin light chain (red), E-cadherin (yellow), and merged signals. The first five panels in each group show 4’,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole , myosin light chain kinase, myosin light chain , E-cadherin, and merged images, respectively. The sixth panel shows an enlarged view of the boxed region in the merged image. Scale bars: 200 μm at × 20 magnification and 100 μm at × 40 magnification (n = 6). DAPI: 4’,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole; MLCK: Myosin light chain kinase; MLC: Myosin light chain; C: The control group; M: The model group; LP: The light-pressure group; MP: The medium-pressure group; HP: The heavy-pressure group.
