Role of colonic glucocorticoid synthesis in intestinal tumour development. (A) Scheme of AOM/DSS‐induced intestinal tumour induction. (B) Weight loss curve of control (Cyp11b1fl/fl) and Cyp11b1IEC KO mice after AOM/DSS treatment. Mean values ± SD of pooled three independent experiments are shown (n = 6–13 mice per group). Unpaired Student's t‐test, *P < 0.05. (C) Colonic tumour development (arrows) in Cyp11b1fl/fl and Cyp11b1IEC KO mice at days 35 and 56. (D) Colonic tumour numbers in Cyp11b1fl/fl and Cyp11b1IEC KO mice at days 35 and 56 (n = 6–7 mice per group and time point). Unpaired Student's t‐test, *P < 0.05. (E) Detection of immune checkpoints (Cd279, Cd274, Cd152), M2 macrophage marker (Arg1) and cytokines (Tnf, IL6, Tgfb, Il10) in Cyp11b1fl/fl and Cyp11b1IEC KO tumours at day 48 (n = 4–5 mice). Unpaired Student's t‐test, P‐values are indicated.
