Effects of LC27, LC67, and PM on Th17 and Treg differentiation in the colon of mice with TNBS-induced colitis. (A) Effects on Th17 cell differentiation. (a) Effects on Th17 cell differentiation assessed by FACS. (b) Effects on ROTγt and IL-17 expression assessed by qRT-PCR. Cells isolated from the lamina propria were stained for cell surface CD4 and intracellular IL-17 and analyzed by flow cytometry. (B) Effects on Th17 cell differentiation. (a) Effects on Th17 cell differentiation assessed by FACS. (b) Effects on Foxp3 and IL-10 expression assessed by qRT-PCR. Cells isolated from the lamina propria were stained for the cell surface CD4 and CD25 and intracellular Foxp3 and analyzed by flow cytometry. TNBS, except in the normal control group, was intrarectally administered to mice and test agents [saline, LC5, LC27, LC67, LC68 (2 × 109 CFU/mouse), or sulfasalazine (SUL; 50 mg/kg)] were orally administered for 3 days. All data are shown as the mean ± SD (n = 6). All values are shown as the mean ± SD. (n = 6). #p < 0.05 vs. normal control group. *p < 0.05 vs. group treated with TNBS alone.
