20% cyclic stretch induced Elk1 and MMP-9 activation and occludin and E-cadherin degradation in MLE-12 cells. MLE-12 cells were treated with 20% cyclic stretch for 0, 2, and 4 h. A Representative Western blotting of E-cadherin, occludin, Elk1, and MMP-9. B–E The density of the proteins at 0 h was used as a standard. *P < 0.05, vs. the CS(0 h) group. F: Immunofluorescence was used to detected the distribution of occludin (green) and E-cadherin (red), and the nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue). All experiments were repeated at three times
