Figure Lengend Snippet: Sequencing and functional analysis of the IFNA4 and IFNA10 variants. ( A ) Confirmation of the IFNA4 and IFNA10 heterozygous mutations in CD patients compared to healthy subjects (wild-type alleles) using Sanger sequencing. ( B ) The mutation site and amino acids alteration of the IFNA4 and IFNA10 variants. ( C-D ) Huh7 cells were transiently transfected with plasmids expressing IFNA4, IFNA10, or mutants and then infected with HCV; the replicon copies were calculated using real-time PCR and PLV as a control; The supernatants of the cell culture were analyzed using ELISA. ( E ) Real-time PCR analyzed the mRNA expressions of IFNA4, IFNA10, FOXP3, TGFβ, IL10, IL2, IL6 and IL17 in NCM460 cells after transfection of the siRNA targeting IFNA4 and IFNA10. The scramble siRNA sequences were used as a negative control. The results indicate the mean ± SD of three independent experiments (* P < 0.05).

Figure Lengend Snippet: ELISA analysis of serum IFNA4 and IFNA10 levels. A Wilcoxon two-sample test was performed to evaluate the differences between 47 CD patients and 95 healthy controls. Comparison of the serum IFNA4 level between CD patients and healthy controls ( A ) and between wild-type and mutant alleles in CD patients and healthy controls ( B ) N indicates normal healthy control. Comparison of the serum IFNA10 level between CD patients and healthy controls ( C ) and between wild-type and mutant alleles in CD patients and healthy controls ( D ). ( E-F ) Comparison of serum IFNA4 and IFNA10 between IFN single-subtype and dual-subtype variants in CD patients, respectively (* P < 0.05).

Figure Lengend Snippet: IFNA4 and IFNA10 control DSS-induced acute colitis. ( A-B ) Left panel showed the experimental protocol applied to induce mice acute colitis and the administration of IFNA subtypes; and right panel showed the mice body weight curve of DSS-induced acute colitis between the study groups. ( C ) The study mice were monitored for bleeding scores by a quantitative analysis for the presence of rectal blood. ( D-E ) Colon sections were fixed in formalin and stained with HE; the sections were analyzed for the inflammation score. ( F ) Real-time PCR analyzed the mRNA expressions of CCL2, CCL5, CD70, CXCL10 and TNFSF10 in colon tissues on DSS model. The data are given as the mean ± SD (n = 10, * P < 0.05).
