Figure Lengend Snippet: Bifidobacterium could regulate intra-tumoral microbiota in glioma mice. (A) Slices from tumor tissues of glioma mice were stained with an antibody against bacterial LPS or LTA or PBS to mitigate non-specific staining (×400). (B) Comparison of α-diversity of tumor microbiota, including Chao1, Shannon, and Simpson indices in the Mod and Mod-BIF groups. Mann–Whitney U test. (C) NMDS analysis based on Bray–Curtis distance. (D) Circos of sample and top 5 phylum. A visual circle diagram describing the correspondence between samples and phylum, and the analysis of variance between groups at the phylum level. (E) Circos of sample and top 10 genus, and the analysis of variance between groups at the genus level. (F) Cladogram of LEfSe analysis between the Mod and Mod-BIF groups. (G) Prediction of bacterial metabolite pathway based on PICURSt2 analysis. Mod, Model; BIF, Bifidobacterium . Experimental data are expressed as the mean ± SEM, ** p < 0.01.
Article Snippet: For immunohistochemistry (IHC), the following primary antibodies were used to incubate the slides, respectively, after blocking: bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS; HycultBiotech #HM6011, Netherlands), lipoteichoic acid (LTA; Santa Cruz, #sc-57752, United States), occludin (Servicebio #GB111401, China), and zonula occludens 1 (ZO-1; Servicebio #GB111981, China).
