a. Heatmap of genes involve in IFN, WNT, and Notch pathways.
b.16s rRNA sequencing shows old nmrHAS2 mice (n=9) have a higher B/F ratio compared to age-matched controls (n=10). Pooled females and males.
c. 16s rRNA sequencing shows that at the phylum level old nmrHAS2 mice (n=9) have more abundant Bacteroidetes and less abundant Firmicutes compared to age-matched controls (n=10). 7- and 24-month-old mice were used. Pooled females and males.
d. 16s rRNA sequencing shows that at family level, old nmrHAS2 mice (n=9) have less abundant pro-inflammatory Streptococcaceae, Lachnospiraceae, and Deferribacteraceae compared to age-matched controls (n=10). 7- and 24-month-old mice were used. Pooled females and males.
e. 16s rRNA sequencing shows that at family level, old nmrHAS2 mice (n=9) have more Muribaculaceae compared to the age-matched controls (n=10). Pooled females and males.
b-e. p-values were calculated by two-tailed unpaired t-test (p-values are indicated in the graphs). Bars represent the means, error bars show standard errors, dots represent biological replicates. Adjustments were made for multiple comparisons.
