Figure 5. IBS-D fecal supernatants (FSN) induced colonic BDNF overexpression and visceral hypersensitivity in mice.

Figure 5

(a and b) Western blotting of BDNF expression in colon of mice (***P < 0.001). (c) Immunohistochemical staining of BDNF in epithelium (Black arrowheads) and mucosa in colon of mice (Bars: 50 μm). (d) Measurement of visceral sensitivity to colorectal distension in mice by using electromyography recording (*P < 0.05, ***P < 0.001 IBS-D FSN vs. control FSN; †††P < 0.001, IBS-D FSN + FUT-175 or ENMD-1068 or TrkB/Fc vs. IBS-D FSN; n = 8 per group; AUC: area under curve). The gels were run under the same experimental conditions. Cropped gels/blots are presented (full-length gels/blots are shown in suppl. Fig. S1 with indicated cropping lines).
