Figure Lengend Snippet: a Volcano plot comparing DEGs for RNA-seq in LRRK2 R1627P vs WT, LRRK2 −/− vs WT ( p value < 0.05, fold change >1.2), n = 3. b BP categories in GO enrichment analysis and KEGG pathway of DEGs in LRRK2 R1627P vs WT, n = 3. c BP categories in GO enrichment analysis and KEGG pathway of DEGs in LRRK2 −/− vs WT, n = 3. d Western blot analysis for TLR4, MyD88 and NF-κB protein levels in the small intestine of rats, n = 4. One-way ANOVA was used. e TEM images of rats small intestinal LP. Ec enterocytes, LP lamina propria. Scale bars 5 μm, n = 3. One-way ANOVA was used. f Western blot analysis for CD68 and CD163 protein levels in the small intestine of rats, n = 4. One-way ANOVA was used. g Immunofluorescence staining images of CD68 (green) and CD163 (red) (upper panel), IL-6 (green) and iNOS (red) (down panel) positive cells in the small intestinal LP of rats. Nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue). Scale bar 100 μm, n = 4. One-way ANOVA was used. h Flow cytometry scatter plot of small intestianl LP isolated from rats, n = 3. CD11b + CD68 + CD163 - cells represent M1 population and CD11b + CD68 - CD163 + cells represent M2 population. i Statistical analysis of total macrophages, M1 macrophages and M2 macrophages in the small intestianl LP using flow cytometry. One-way ANOVA was used. j Immunofluorescence staining images of CD68 (green) and p S129 -α-Syn (red) positive cells in the small intestinal LP of rats. Nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue). Scale bar 100 μm, n = 4. k Statistical analysis of immunofluorescence staining. One-way ANOVA was used. Data are presented as mean ± SEM, * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01.
