DCA downregulates IDO1 in vitro. (A) Immunofluorescence staining of DAPI (blue), IDO1 (red) and lysozyme (green) in enteroids. White arrow, IDO1+ PCs; white triangles, IDO1− PCs; scale bars, 100 μm. (B) Representative immunofluorescence images of IDO1 in enteroids cultured with DMSO or 100 μM DCA for 48 h and relative analysis of IDO1+ cells per enteroid (n = 3); scale bars, 25 μm. (C) Relative mRNA levels of IDO1 in isolated crypts cultured in vitro (n = 7) in different groups. Data are shown as the mean ± SEM. IDO1, indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1; PCs, Paneth cells; NC, negative control; DCA, deoxycholic acid. * p < 0.05; *** p < 0.001.
