Effects of ganjang on intestinal epithelial surface in AOM/DSS-induced CAC mice. (a,b) mRNA levels of Muc2 (a) and Tff3 (b) in colon tissue. (c) Representative immunohistochemical staining images of MUC2 and TFF3 expression in colon tissue (scale bar: 60 µm, 200x magnification). Nor, Normal control group; A/D, 10 mg/kg AOM + 2% DSS; PC, 10 mg/kg AOM + 2% DSS + 75 mg/kg 5-ASA; GJ1, 10 mg/kg AOM + 2% DSS + Ganjang sample 1; GJ2, 10 mg/kg AOM + 2% DSS + Ganjang sample 2; GJ3, 10 mg/kg AOM + 2% DSS + Ganjang sample 3; GJ4, 10 mg/kg AOM + 2% DSS + Ganjang sample 4. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 5). # p < 0.05, compared to the Nor group; * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, and *** p < 0.001, compared to the A/D group.
