Fig. 3: Loss of Mptx2 impaired the autophagy/endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in mice intestine.

qRT-PCR analysis of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-autophagy genes mRNA expression in mouse proximal (pro), middle (mid), distal (dis) small bowel and colon from both Mptx2−/− mice and Wt mice (each group, n = 4-6). Unpaired two-tailed Student’s t test with or without Welch’s correction analysis. ns not significant, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001.
