Increased inflammation and decreased ILCs in DJ-1−/− mice. (a) Calprotectin level (mean ± SEM) measured by ELISA in DJ-1+/+ and DJ-1−/− mice fecal samples (n = 5). (b) DJ-1−/− mice have significantly higher production of the MCP-1 (mean ± SEM) cytokine measurement from the feces. * represents the p value of < 0.05 using Student’s unpaired t-test. (c) Original Immunoblots from GFAP/Gapdh expression and quantification of the protein expression. Images used in the manuscript were cropped from the original blots which are shown in Suppl. Figure 7 and contrast was adjusted to make the image uniform. Bar diagram (mean ± SEM) shows the statistical significantly higher expression of GFAP in the colon tissues of the DJ-1−/− mice compared to control DJ-1+/+ mice (n = 7–9) from two different cohorts. (d) Left hand side figure shows representative FACS plots from DJ-1+/+ and DJ-1−/− mice spleen samples. X-axis represents Lineage markers of lymphoid cells (CD3, CD5, CD3, CD11b, CD11c, F4/80, Gr-1, B220 or CD19, and Ter119) and y-axis represents lymphoid marker CD45. Right hand side Bar diagram (mean ± SEM) shows significantly lower in DJ-1−/− (n = 12) compared with DJ-1+/+ (n = 11) from three different cohorts. *represents the p value of < 0.05 using Student’s unpaired t-test.
