B. fragilis enhances intestinal tight junction proteins and exhibited intestinal anti-inflammatory effects. (a) IHC staining of the colon (scale bar was 50 μm). (b) The concentration of ZO-1, claudin1, occluding, MUC2 in the colon. (c) Intestinal permeability measured by determining the plasma concentration of FITC-dextran. (d–g) Colonic cytokine expression of IL-6, TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL10. (e,f) Intestinal tight junction protein expression. Data are shown as the mean ± SEM. ***p < 0.001, **p < 0.01, *p < 0.05.
