DXR in vivo does not result in bacterial translocation into the local lymph tissues or submucosa. (AC) Mesenteric lymph nodes (A), spleen (B), and whole flushed jejunum (C) were isolated from control mice or mice treated with DXR. 16S rDNA quantification was performed relative to host TNFα transcript expression. (D) Representative 16S rRNA fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) images of flushed jejunal tissue at various time points after doxorubicin injection (6, 24, 48, and 72 h) as compared to control jejunum. Red arrows indicate 16S FISH-positive (red) bacteria in a jejunal crypt from a mouse treated with DXR 6 h prior to sacrifice (inset). Images are representative of n = 3 per time point. Scale bar 20 μm. Statistics: (A) (n = 3/group), Student’s t-test, ns no significance.
