β-glucans promoted macrophage M2 polarization in the colon. (A) Immunohistochemical staining and quantification of colonic CD206-positive cells. (B) Immunohistochemical staining and quantification of colonic F4/80-positive cells. (C–F) mRNA expression levels of IL-10 (C), IL-6 (D), TNF-α (E), IL-1β (F) in the colon of mice. (G–I) Pearson's correlation analysis between CD206 positive cells in colon and discrimination index (G), Iba1+cells in the hippocampus (H) and in the PFC (I). If P < 0.05 for significant correlations, R is noted. (J–L) Pearson's correlation analysis between IL-10 mRNA expression in colon and discrimination index (J), Iba1+cells in the hippocampus (K) and Iba1+cells in the PFC (L). If P < 0.05 for significant correlations, R is noted. All n = 6. Data were presented as mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05 vs. Control, **P < 0.01 vs. Control, ***P < 0.001 vs. Control. Scale bar: 80 μm.
