MyD88 deficiency eliminates the effects of metronidazole treatment on melatonin production.

(a) Diagram for the description of metronidazole treatment in Myd88flox/flox and Myd88ΔIEC mice. (b and c) The level of melatonin in the serum (b) and colon (c) of Myd88flox/flox and Myd88ΔIEC mice treated with metronidazole or not (n = 4-10). (d) The protein abundance of MyD88, AANAT, p-p65 and p65 in the colon of Myd88flox/flox and Myd88ΔIEC mice treated with metronidazole or not (n = 3). (e) Confocal microscopy analysis of MyD88 (purple), AANAT (green), and Villin (red) in the colon tissue of Myd88flox/flox and Myd88ΔIEC mice treated with metronidazole or not. Scale bars, 5 μm (n = 10-12). Data were analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis (b) or one-way ANOVA (c-e) and represented as mean ± SD. *p < .05, **p < .01, ***p < .001.
