Protein expression of IL-6, TNFα and IL-1β in lamina propia mononuclear cells (LPMCs) induced by 24 hr incubations of MDP (100 μg/mL), tri-DAP (100 μg/mL) or LPS (10 ng/mL). (A) LPMCs were prepared from normal mice. (B) LPMCs were prepared from DSS-induced colitis mice. (C) The expression of f IL-6, TNFα and IL-1β in LPMCs from normal and colitis mice. Data are expressed as mean ± SE (n=6 samples/treatment) in which six animals were pooled for each sample. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 and ***p < 0.001 as compared to buffer (control, CON) using ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s test.
