Four-week-old STING N153S (SAVI) mice were administered VNA cocktail or vehicle control ad libitum and euthanized at age 12 weeks.
(A) Representative hematoxylin and eosin-stained images of lung sections from age-matched 12-week-old STING N153S mice and littermate control mice. Top panel images were taken under low magnification, and bottom panel images were taken under high magnification. Scale bars: 100 μm.
(B) Quantitation of affected lung area of STING N153S mice following administration of VNA or control.
(C–E) 16S analysis on stool samples collected from 12-week-old, co-housed WT and STING N153S littermates.
(F–K) Gene expression of ISGs, cytokines, and chemokines following administration of VNA or control. Data represent the mean ± SEM of n = 5–13 mice per genotype pooled from 3 independent experiments. Results were analyzed by Mann-Whitney test. *p < 0.05; ***p < 0.001.
