Deficiency of Dietary Fiber in Slc5a8-Null Mice Promotes Bacterial Dysbiosis and Alters Colonic Epithelial Transcriptome towards Proinflammatory Milieu

Figure 7

Quantitative PCR for four specific genes in colonic epithelial cells in wild-type mice (WT) and Slc5a8^-/- mice (KO) fed the fiber-containing diet (FC-diet) and the fiber-free diet (FF-diet). The Student’s two-tailed t-test was used to calculate statistical significance (n = 6 mice/group). in WT-FF compared with WT-FC; $, in KO-FC compared with WT-FC; @, in KO-FF compared with WT-FF.
