Hydrocortisone (HC) reduces surface TLR4 expression in human fetal colonic epithelium. Human 16 week fetal colonic tissues incubated for 2 hours and then stimulated with HC or not for 20 hours. TLR4 expression was detected by the methods described. Original magnification ×1000; scale bar-20 μm. (a) TLR4 expression in control colonic sections. (b) HC pre-treated colonic sections. (c) Histogram of the surface to cytoplasm ratio of TLR4 fluorescent intensity in control and HC pre-treated colonic sections. The results represent the mean±SD, n=3, *p<0.05 vs. control group.
