BMP4 maintains epithelium cell proliferation and Lgr5+ ISCs following DSS-induced injury. (A) Immunofluorescence staining for Ki67 in colon tissue from DSS-induced mice treated with saline, BMP4, or anti-BMP4 antibody (red: Ki67, blue: DAPI). (B) Quantification of Ki67-positive cells per crypt (n = 5). (C) Immunofluorescence staining for Lgr5 in colon tissue from DSS-induced mice treated with saline, BMP4, or anti-BMP4 antibody (green: Lgr5, blue: DAPI). (D) Quantification of Lgr5-positive cells per crypt (n = 5). Data represent mean ± SD with three independent experiments. One-way ANOVA and Bonferroni tests for multiple testing were applied in all cases. ***p < 0.001. Scale bar = 25 μm.
