Butyrate enhances ILC3 responses and intestinal IL-22 signaling. (a) absolute numbers of live linCD45intCD90.2+RORγt+ ILC3 in the colonic (left) and small intestine (right) lamina propria on day 4 post-infection. N = 8–9. (b) percentage of IL-22, IL-17, and IFN-γ content in small intestine ILC3 from infected mice after ex vivo stimulation with IL-1β/IL-23. N = 6. (c, d) relative mRNA expression of antimicrobial peptides (c) and mucin (d) genes in isolated colonic epithelial cells on day 4 post-infection. N = 8. (e, f) analysis of mucus density by lectin-UEA-1 in situ hybridization in the proximal colon on day 4 post-infection. Blue = DAPI, red = lectin-UEA-1, and green = bacteria probe. Scale bars = 100 µm. N = 5. All results are representative of at least two independent experiments and presented as mean ± SEM.
