( C ) Immunofluorescence staining for Factor B (red), E-cadherin (green) and DAPI (blue) in colonic tissue specimens from patients with IBD versus controls (non-IBD). (Scale bar = 90 μ m). ( D ) Quantification of the relative intensity of Factor B expression across tissue type.

Scale bars = 70 μ m. ( E ) Graph depicts serum CD14 concentration. Serum from mice challenged with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) were used as a positive control for barrier leak. Each dot represents an individual mouse. Bar graphs show the mean ± SEM, * P < 0.05; ** P < 0.01, ns, non-significant, unpaired t test. ( F ) Dot plot illustrating the expression of complement genes representing the classical (CP), lectin (LP) and alternative (AP) pathway across cell types indicated along the Y axis, based on single-cell RNA-seq data from the large intestines of non-injured adult C57BL/6 mice ( Cfb f/f ), housed in specific pathogen-free conditions. Cells pooled from n=2 mice.

Figure Legend Snippet: ( A-B ) Human epithelial Caco-2 cells were incubated in serum-free media alone (non-treated, NT), media with rIL-1β (50ng/ml) or TNF-α (50ng/ml). ( A ) Supernatant was collected after 24 hours, concentrated 50-fold and analyzed by immunoblotting for Factor B. ( B ) Human primary fibroblasts were incubated in serum-free media alone (NT), media with rIL-1β (50ng/ml) or TNF-α (50ng/ml). Immunoblot depicts CFB in supernatant at the 24 h time point. Graph depicts Factor B protein quantification relative to the loaded control. The same volume of supernatant was loaded in each well. Each dot represents an individual replicate. Bar graphs show the mean ± SEM. All immunoblots were repeated at least twice. Statistics performed using an ordinary one-way ANOVA test adjusted for multiple comparisons.

Figure Legend Snippet: ( A ) SPF-housed global knockout ( Cfb −/− ), liver-deficient ( Cfb f/f AlbCre +/− ) and littermate control ( Cfb f/f AlbCre −/− ) mice were administered 2.5% DSS in drinking water for 7 days, followed by conventional water for 3 days. Mice were euthanized on Day 11. Body weights were monitored daily during treatment. ( B ) Colon lengths evaluated at end of study. ( C ) Colonic tissue was homogenized for measuring TNF-α and MPO levels, normalized to weight (per g) of tissue. ( D ) Fecal lipocalin-2 (LCN-2) levels compared at the end of the study.

Pathway analysis conducted using Enrichr (MSigDB). ( G ) Adult C57BL/6 mice housed in SPF conditions were given 2.5% DSS in drinking water for a week. Starting day 5, mice were treated with a daily oral gavage of a Factor B inhibitor, iptacopan (20 mg/kg), or vehicle control. Body weights were monitored daily.

Figure Legend Snippet: ( A-C ) Data from scRNA-seq of colonic cells from C57BL/6 mice subjected to acute DSS (acute colitis, AC) was re-analyzed for express of complement genes and compared to mice not treated with DSS (non-DSS, healthy controls (HC), GSE264408).

Colon length was determined at the end of the experiment. Colonic tissue was homogenized for comparing MPO and IL-1β levels, normalized to tissue weight.

Body weights and the disease activity index (DAI) were measured daily. Mice were sacrificed on day 11. Colons were harvested to compare the colon length, MPO and IL-1β levels, normalized to weight of tissue. ( G ) Cfb f/f Col1a2CreER T2+/− mice and their controls were treated with tamoxifen every other day for 10 days. Colons were harvested and tissue sections were stained for Factor B (red) and vimentin (green). Scale bar =90 μ m. ( H ) Cfb f/f Col1a2CreER T2+/− and littermates were subjected to tamoxifen challenge as detailed in ( G ). 3 days after the last dose of tamoxifen, mice were subjected to DSS challenge as detailed in ( D ). Body weights and DAI scores were monitored daily. Colon tissue was collected at day 11 to measure colon length and cytokines in tissue lysate. Data represent 2 independent experiments. Bar graphs show the mean ± SEM, * P < 0.05; ** P < 0.01, ns, non-significant.
