Actions of Probiotics on Trinitrobenzenesulfonic Acid-Induced Colitis in Rats

Figure 5

Effects of SF3B-containing diet intake on expression of mRNAs of inflammation-related and tissue regeneration-related genes in the inflamed colon. Expression levels of iNOS (a), CyclinD1 (b), Atoh1 (c), and nNOS (d) genes in colons of the CONT group () and SF3B group () at 7 or 14 days after TNBS treatment and of the intact group () were analyzed by RT-PCR. Summary graphs showing relative values of mRNA expression calculated by taking the value of the respective β-actin mRNA as unity (1.0). Each bar represents the mean ± S.D. and , comparison between the CONT group and SF3B group at the same day after TNBS treatment or between the SF3B groups at different day after TNBS treatment.
