Width of tight and adherens junction in the colon epithelial cells.

Width (nm)	WT median (IQR)&	WT+Abx median (IQR)&	MIF-KO median (IQR)&	MIF-KO+Abx median (IQR)&
Tight junctions	0.003 (0.002–0.004)	0.003 (0.002–0.005)	0.006 (0.004–0.010)*	0.003 (0.002–0.004)#
Adherens junctions	0.015 (0.012–0.020)	0.016 (0.011–0.021)	0.024 (0.017–0.039)*	0.016 (0.011–0.022)#

Abx – antibiotics;

^*p<0.001 represent the significant difference between WT and MIF-KO;

^#p<0.001 represent the significant difference between MIF-KO and MIF-KO+Abx;

^&The interquartile range (IQR);

For statistical analysis the Student's t-test was used to compare mean values between two groups and 50 junctions per mouse were counted (number of mice per group 12).
