Figure Lengend Snippet: B. fragilis possibly promoted CLP-derived ILC3 to secrete IL-22 in DSS-induced colitis. (A) The heatmap analysis of inflammatory factors from colon tissue through protein microarray detection. Control group (N=2), DSS group (N=3), DSS+ZY-312 group (N=3). N, number of mice. Red represents up-regulation, and blue represents down-regulation. (B) The level of inflammatory factors including IL-7, IL-1α, GM-CSF, and IFN-γ showed significant differences between the DSS+ZY-312 group (N=3) and the DSS group (N=3). IL-7 (p value=0.0078), IL-1α (p value=0.0038), GM-CSF (p value=0.0173), IFN-γ (p value=0.0386), Red represents up-regulation, blue represents down-regulation. (C) The PPI (protein-protein interaction) analysis of DEGs (differentially expressed genes) between the DSS group and DSS+ZY-312 group. Network nodes represent proteins, edges represent protein-protein associations, colored nodes: query proteins and the first shell of interactors, white nodes: the second shell of interactors, and empty nodes: proteins of unknown 3D structure, contrary to a known 3D structure. (D) IL-22 secreting ILC3 (labeled with FVS-CD45+Lineage-RORγt+IL-22+) and CD4+T cells (labeled with FVS-CD45+Lineage+CD4+IL-22+) from CLP in C57BL/6 mice were analyzed by cell flow cytometry, and statistical analysis of cell percentage was showed (right panel). Control group (N=3), DSS group (N=13), DSS+ZY-312 group (N=11). N, number of mice. (E) Cell flow cytometry analysis of IL-22 secreting ILC3 in IL-22 +/+ mice. Control group/ IL-22 +/+ (N=3), DSS group/ IL-22 +/+ (N=3), DSS+ B. fragilis group/ IL-22 +/+ (N=3). N, number of mice. Data are presented as Mean ± SEM. Statistical analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA (D, E) . * p < 0.05,** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.005, NS indicates no significance.
Article Snippet: B. fragilis (10 4 CFU/well) and murine TNF-α (60 ng/mL; Peprotech, Rocky Hill, NJ, USA) were added independently or simultaneously to the culture medium for 24 h. Murine IL-22 (5 ng/ml, Peprotech), anti-IL-22 neutralizing antibody (0.1 μg/mL, AF582; RD, Minneapolis, MN, USA) , and Stattic (15 μM; Selleck, Houston, TX, USA) ( ) were also added to organoids for 24 hours.
