Fig. 5: Mucin 2 (MUC2) production in colon mucus cells, LS174T cells.

A MUC2 mRNA expression in control cells and LS174T cells treated with four short-chain fatty acids (acetate, butyrate, propionate, succinate) (*p < 0.01, vs. all). B ELISA for MUC2 in control and succinate-treated cells (**p < 0.05, vs. control). C Fluorescence imaging of control, LS174T cells, and succinate-treated cells stained with rhodamine-phalloidin and Hoechst.
