Reduced Paneth Cell Numbers and Increased IEC Apoptosis in Ileal Crypts of NEMOIEC-KO Mice
(A and G) Representative images of ileal sections from NEMOIEC-KO and NemoFL, NEMOtamIEC-KO, and NemoFL littermates 8 days after tamoxifen administration stained with H&E or immunostained for cl. casp3 or lysozyme.
(B and K) Graph depicting histopathological scores of ileal sections from NEMOIEC-KO and NemoFL, NEMOtamIEC-KO and NemoFL littermates 8 days after tamoxifen administration (n = 6–9 mice per genotype).
(C, F, J, and L) Graphs depicting mRNA levels of the indicated genes in the ileum of NEMOIEC-KO and NemoFL mice and NEMOtamIEC-KO and NemoFL littermates 8 days after tamoxifen administration (n = 5–8 mice per genotype).
(D and H) Graphs depicting percentage of crypts with cl. casp. 3 stained IECs on ileal sections from NEMOIEC-KO and NemoFL mice and NEMOtamIEC-KO and NemoFL littermates 8 days after tamoxifen administration (n = 6–8 mice per genotype).
(E and I) Graphs depicting Paneth cell scores of ileal sections from NEMOIEC-KO and NemoFL mice and NEMOtamIEC-KO and NemoFL littermates 8 days after tamoxifen administration (n = 6–9 mice per genotype).
