Early intestinal barrier failure can amplify postburn inflammation and organ dysfunction, yet the dynamic epithelial lesions that generate focal leakage in vivo remain unclear. We characterized villus-tip epithelial shedding, epithelial gap formation, and tracer leak sites early after burn injuries using intravital multiphoton fluorescence microscopy. Male C57BL\/6 mice were assigned to control or burn groups (30%-35% total body surface area full-thickness burn; n\u2009=\u20096\/group). Intestinal permeability was assessed at 2, 4, and 6\u00a0h postinjury using luminal fluorescein isothiocyanate\u2013dextran (4 kilodaltons) with portal venous sampling. Distal-ileum intravital imaging was performed 330-420\u00a0min postinjury (at 1-min intervals). Ten villi per mouse were quantified for shedding duration and prevalence, a condensation-first vs extrusion-first sequence, epithelial gap density, goblet-cell proportion, and focal luminal tracer leak sites. A major burn shortened shedding duration and increased shedding prevalence during the 90-min observation (P\u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.05), with a shift toward a condensation-first pattern and fewer extrusion-first events (P\u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.05). Burn increased epithelial gap density and goblet-cell proportion (P\u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.05). Portal serum fluorescein isothiocyanate\u2013dextran concentrations were elevated at 6\u00a0h (P\u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.05), and imaging localized tracer penetration to discrete postshedding epithelial defects, consistent with incomplete sealing. Major burn rapidly disrupts intestinal barrier integrity through accelerated stress-associated shedding, increased gap formation, and focal leak sites. These time-resolved structural lesions provide an in vivo substrate for early hyperpermeability and suggest a time-critical window for gut-directed interventions to mitigate downstream postburn complications.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jbcr\/irag064","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,24]],"date-time":"2026-04-24T11:44:28Z","timestamp":1777031068000},"page":"1204-1211","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Dysregulated
