Figure Lengend Snippet: A Lipid deposits stained by Nile red in metaplastic glands. The right panels indicate the framed area with droplets in FGF23 + cells at higher magnification. B The upper panel shows FGF23 + surface mucus and desquamated cells, displaying strong Nile red staining (lower panel) in the contiguous sections. (CD: n = 3; HFD: n = 4). Arithmetic means ± SEM of gastric Muc2 ( C ), Il-6 ( D ), Il-11 ( E ), Tnf-α ( F ) and Dmp1 ( G ) transcript abundance relative to Rpl8 in CD- and HFD-fed mice (n = 5-6 per group; C , D , G student’s t -test, E , F Mann-Whitney U test). FGF23 + metaplastic gland area ( H ) surrounded by CD45 + immune cells ( I ) of consecutive sections. Contiguous sections showing dilated FGF23 + interconnected blood vessels ( J ) enwrapped by CD45 + infiltrates ( K ). FGF23 + disorganized glands ( L ) contained IL-1β + inflammatory and epithelial cells ( M ). (CD: n = 3; HFD: n = 4). Sections were counterstained with DAPI. Scale bars ( A , B , H – M ): 50 μm. *p < 0.05. CD control diet, CD45 cluster of differentiation 45, Dmp1 dentin matrix protein 1 , FGF23 fibroblast growth factor 23, HFD high fat diet, IL-1β interleukin 1 β, Il-6 interleukin 6, Il-11 interleukin 11, Muc2 mucin 2, Rpl8 ribosomal protein L8, Tnf-α tumor necrosis factor-α.
Article Snippet: For murine sections, the following antibodies at a dilution of 1:400 (except for IL-1β) were used: rat anti-fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) (MAB26291, R&D systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA), mouse anti-hydrogen potassium-ATPase (H + /K + -ATPase) as parietal cell marker (sc-374094, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA), mouse anti-platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule (PECAM/CD31) for endothelial cells (sc-376764, Santa Cruz Biotechnology), rabbit anti-trefoil factor 1 (TFF1) for mucus-producing cells (GTX121461, GeneTex, Irvine, CA, USA), rabbit anti-α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) to visualize pericytes and smooth muscle cells (ab5694, Abcam, Cambridge, England), the leukocyte marker rat anti-CD45 to detect immune infiltrates (550539, BD Biosciences, Heidelberg, Germany), and rabbit anti-IL-1β for labeling of infiltrating and epithelial cells (at a dilution of 1:200; P420B, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Darmstadt, Germany).
