From: Th17 cells sense microbiome to promote depressive-like behaviors
Microbiomes of depressed patients are sufficient to increase SFB/SAA-2/Th17 cell pathway in the intestines of the mice. Fecal SFB (A), intestinal IL-17A (B), SAA1 (C), SAA2 (D), and SAA3 (E) were analyzed by q-PCR (SFB) and qRT-PCR, respectively (all the others), in mice receiving stools from healthy controls and depressed patients. Each symbol represents an individual mouse. Data are means ± SEM. n = 10 mice/group, Mann Whitney, U = 14 (SFB); Student t-test, t = 2.795 (Il-17a), t = 1.526 (saa1) t = 2.106 (saa2), t = 1.898 (saa3), *p < 0.05
