  1. MAPK, mitogen-activated protein kinase; PBS, phosphate-buffered saline; WT, wild type.
  2. Gene expression level has been assessed by microarray using MouseWG-6 v2 chips (Affymetrix) in the colon of WT, T5KO, N4KO, and T5/N4-DKO mice 1 h after intraperitoneally flagellin injection in comparison with the matching genotype mice receiving only PBS. Upregulated genes, only observed in WT and N4KO mice, were then analyzed using the Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery (DAVID) tool (http://david.abcc.ncifcrf.gov/) for Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways to determine which pathways were significantly upregulated after flagellin injection.
