Fig. 2. Expression of Shh and macrophage infiltration in control and LysMCre/SmoKO mice.
Immunohistochemistry of Shh expression in A control and B LysMCre/SmoKO mouse stomachs. Shh expression at the ulcer margin of C, D control, and E, F LysMCre/SmoKO mouse stomachs. G Shh concentrations (pg/mL) measured in plasma collected from in control and LysMCre/SmoKO mice. Macrophage numbers (CD11b+F4/80+Ly6Chi) within the uninjured and injured gastric epithelium of H control and I LysMCre/SmoKO mice 1–7 post-ulcer induction. *P < 0.05 compared to day 1 post-injury, n = 6 mice per group. Data are shown as the mean ± SEM.
