Fig. 3From: Gut-derived Enterococcus faecium from ulcerative colitis patients promotes colitis in a genetically susceptible mouse hostThe fecal microbiota from IBD patients induce the expression of inflammatory cytokines in the colon. a On day 28 post-fecal transplantation, the mice were euthanized and mRNA expression in the colon was analyzed by real-time PCR. Values are the mean ± SE. Statistical differences between two values were analyzed using a Mann-Whitney U test. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001. b Linear regression line determined from plots showing changes in body weight (%) on day 28 and relative expression of Tnf in the murine colon. The regression coefficient (R) and P value are shownBack to article page
