Human-derived bacteria reduced inflammatory responses in DSS-induced colitis mice. (a) Representative images showing immunohistological staining of CD45 in colonic tissue of colitis mice and its statistical quantification. Scale bar = 100 μm. (b-e) qPCR quantification of Tnf (b), Il1b (c), Il6 (d) and Il10 (e) expression in colonic tissue. n = 5–10 mice per group. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001 vs. DSS + PBS group by ANOVA followed by LSD post hoc test. LR: Lactobacillus rhamnosus, LP: Lactobacillus plantarum, PA: Pediococcus acidilactici, EF: Enterococcus faecium, EC: Escherichia coli
