The inhibition of NETs formation alleviated the AJs disruption may by regulating VCL/β-catenin/VE-cadherin functional complex. A Triple labeling IF staining showed colocalization of VCL, β-catenin and VE-cadherin (n = 6); Quantification of the fluorescence intensity of VCL (B), β-catenin (C) and VE-cadherin (D) in the hippocampus (n = 6). NETs: Neutrophil extracellular traps; CLP: Cecal Ligation and Puncture; SAE: Sepsis-associated encephalopathy; IF: immunofluorescence. (ns: no significance, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001)
