Mast Cells Exert Anti-Inflammatory Effects in an IL10−/− Model of Spontaneous Colitis

Figure 4

Spontaneous colonic cytokine production. (a) TNF is increased in DKO mice compared to IL10−/− and is restored to baseline in DKO mice that are reconstituted with BMMCs. (b) IL12p40 is increased in DKO mice compared to IL10−/− but is unaffected by BMMC reconstitution. (c) Colonic IL6 is similar between IL10−/−, DKO, and DKO mice reconstituted with BMMCs. (d) TNF is also restored to baseline in DKO mice reconstituted with IL10−/− BMMCs compared to DKO mice. IL10−/−: ; DKO: ; DKO-rMC: . , .
