Presence of the microbiome is crucial for IL-1β release during POI. Wt mice received repetitive gavages of oral antibiotics (AB) or water (Veh) for 7 days and were subjected to IM. (A) mRNA expression of the indicated genes was analysed in the ME. (n = 5 per group). (B) IL-1β production was measured by ELISA in ME organ culture supernatants. (C) Myeloperoxidase MPO+ cell counts in the ME. (D) In vivo gastrointestinal motility. Statistical analyses: student’s t-test or one-way ANOVA with Bonferroni test (n = 5 per group). CTL = untreated animals, GC = geometric centre, st = stomach, c = cecum, col = colon.
