Figure Lengend Snippet: Physical contact between M1 macrophages and colonic crypts but not secretory factors decrease UEA-1+ and DCAMKL1+ cell expression in crypts in vitro. A, Representative confocal images showing UEA-1 expression (green), nuclei (blue) and E-cadherin (red) in crypts cultured in the M1 coculture, M-CM media and M1 only culture models. B, Representative confocal images showing DCAMKL1 expression (green), nuclei (blue) in crypts cultured in the M1 coculture, M1-CM and M1 only culture models. C, (i) Histogram showing the average number of UEA-1 positive cells per crypt cultured in the M1 coculture, M1-CM and M1 only culture models and histograms showing the average number of UEA-1 positive cells per crypt region (C) (ii) base, (iii) mid and (iiv) top when cultured in the M1 coculture, M1-CM and M1 only culture models ( n = 6, * P < .05 compared with control; $$$ P < .001 compared with M1 coculture). Scale bar 20 μm. D, Histogram showing the average number of DCAMKL1 positive cells per crypt cultured in the M1 coculture, M1-CM and M1 only culture models and histograms showing the position of DCAMKL1+ cells per crypt region (ii) base (iii), mid (iv), and top in M1 coculture, M1-CM and M1 only culture models ( n = 6, * P < .05 compared with control). Scale bars 20 μm.
