LPF- and SPFC-induced increases in the expression level of MUC2 in the colon in rats with DSS-induced acute colitis. The middle portions of distal colons were analysed for the expression of MUC2 by IHC (A), and the intensity of MUC2 expression was quantified (B) (n = 6 per group, at least 5 parts were evaluated for each sample). The expression levels of the MUC2 gene were measured by qPCR (C). The data are expressed as the mean ± SD. Mann-Whitney test was performed. NC: the negative control group; Model: the 5% DSS-induced colitis group; LPF: the 5% DSS and live P. freudenreichii-treated group; RCM: the 5% DSS and reinforced clostridial medium-treated group; SPFC: the 5% DSS and supernatant of P. freudenreichii culture-treated group.
