Effect of toll-like receptor 3 agonist poly I:C on intestinal mucosa and epithelial barrier function in mouse models of acute colitis

Figure 3 Effect of poly I:C on the expressions of inflammatory markers. A: Representative photographs of immunohistochemistry staining of IL-17, TNF-α and IFN-γ in colon tissues (Magnifications, × 200); B: Expressions of IL-17, TNF-α and IFN-γ at the mRNA level, as analyzed by RT-qPCR; C: Protein expressions of IL-17, TNF-α and IFN-γ as analyzed by Western Blot. Data are expressed as mean ± SD. ^bP < 0.01 vs control group; ^dP < 0.01 vs model group. RT-qPCR: Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction; IL-17: Interleukin-17; TNF-α: Tumor necrosis factor-α; IFN-γ: Interferon-γ.
