Figure 6. Deletion of GC-C resulted in a differential cytokine response during acute DSS-induced injury.
A, B. ELISA of organ culture supernatants indicated that GC-C−/− mice produced significantly less TNFα and IFNγ following acute DSS injury as compared to wildtype animals. (basal n=3–4 mice per group; acute DSS n=10–11 mice per group. *P<0.05 versus basal GC-C+/+)
C–G. A survey of cytokines and chemokines relevant to DSS-induced disease showed similar levels in wildtype and GC-C−/− mice during mucosal injury. (basal n=3–4 mice per group; acute DSS n=14–17 mice per group, *P<0.05 versus basal GC-C+/+, #P<0.05 versus basal GC-C−/−)
