FGF-2 + PPS increases the expression of inflammatory molecules in the intestine of mice. A: representative Western blots done with samples derived from the small intestine of mice infected with rAd-Lac-Z or rAd-FGF-2 and treated with PPS (60 mg/kg). B: the densitometric analysis corresponding to the Western blots. Results are expressed in arbitrary optical density units as a ratio of the beta-actin expression (means ± SE). Samples from the small intestine of 6 different mice were included in each group (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.001 compared with control mice treated with rAd-Lac-Z + PPS).
