Article Title: Paneth Cells Protect against Acute Pancreatitis via Modulating Gut Microbiota Dysbiosis
doi: 10.1128/msystems.01507-21
Figure Lengend Snippet: AP patients and experimental AP mice presented Paneth cell defects. (A) Histopathological changes and mean numbers of Paneth cells per crypt of duodenal mucosa specimens were assessed by H&E staining. Original magnification, ×200 ( n = 7 to 14 individuals per group). (B) Lysozyme expression (green) was assessed in Paneth cells of duodenal mucosa specimens by immunofluorescence (magnification, ×200) and lysozyme-positive/DAPI + quantification. (C to K) The mRNA expression levels of lysozyme (C), HD6 (D), HD5 (E), Reg3γ (F), Ang4 (G), sPLA2 (H), TGFβ (I), Wnt3a (J), and Lgr5 (K) were assessed. (L) Lysozyme expression (green) (magnification, ×200) and lysozyme-positive/DAPI + quantification in three AP models. (M) Mean number of Paneth cells per crypt in AP models. The data are presented as the means ± SD. ns, no significant difference; *, P ≤ 0.05.
Article Snippet: The membrane was blocked with 3% bovine serum albumin (BSA) for 1 h and incubated with primary antibodies, diluted in primary antibody dilution buffer (Epizyme Biotech, China), against Lgr5 (catalog number A10545; Abclonal, China), lysozyme (catalog number A0099; Dako, Denmark), Reg3γ (catalog number sc-377038; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, USA), Defa5 (catalog number A18208; Abclonal, China), Ang4 (catalog number sc-377497; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, USA), and sPLA2 (catalog number sc-58363; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, USA) overnight at 4°C.
