Fig. 5. The protective capacity of the adoptive transfer of L. rhamnosus-treated BMDC is abolished in atg16l1-deficient cells (A) Body weight loss (as a percentage of the initial weight) (B) Macroscopic evaluation of colonic inflammation (Wallace score) (C) Gene expression of cxcl2, il6, tnfa, il1b and il17 from colonic samples. Values are expressed as the relative mRNA levels of samples compared with colons from healthy mice. The data represent the mean values of each group (n=10) ± SEM. * and # refer to the comparison of BMDCs-treated groups versus TNBS control group or TNBS group versus healthy mice, respectively; *p<0.05, **or ^## p<0.01, ^### p<0.001.
