Figure Lengend Snippet: Loss of AP-1B decreases IL-22 - STAT3 signal, leading to decreased RegIIIγ expression in the intestine . (A) Western blot analysis of pSTAT3, STAT3, and β-actin in the intestinal epithelium from Ap1m2 fl/fl and Ap1m2 ΔIEC female mice. n = 4. (B) Quantitative PCR analysis of Reg3b and Reg3g in the intestine from ileal Ap1m2 fl/fl and Ap1m2 ΔIEC female mice. Tbp was analyzed as a reference gene. n = 4. (C) Immunofluorescence images of RegIIIγ (red) and nuclei (blue) in the intestine from Ap1m2 fl/fl and Ap1m2 ΔIEC female mice. Scale bars: 100 μm. Data represent the median. ∗ p < 0.05 (unpaired, two-tailed Mann–Whitney test).
