Protective effects of LMP on T1D are abolished by antibiotics (ABX)-induced abberation of gut microbiota. (A) Animal experiment design for ABX treatment and microbiota transfer (MT). (B) After ABX and MT treatment, the blood glucose was measured at 11-weeks age. (C) After ABX and MT treatment, the diabetes incidence was shown from 4 to 40 weeks of age. n = 20. (D) H&E staining of pancreatic islets from NOD mice at the age of 11-weeks age. Insulitis score was quantified. Scale bar, 100 μm. (E) The anti-inflammatory cytokine TGF-β1 was quantified in pancreas by ELISA. (F) The pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF-α was quantified in pancreas by ELISA. Bars represent means ± SEM; *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001, and ****p < 0.0001.
