Abstract

Rectal prolapse, thickened colon, enlargement of the spleen and mesenteric lymph nodes were observed in all AhrKO mice. Flow cytometry revealed that Th17 cells significantly increased in the spleen and colonic lamina propria, whereas no obvious differences in Treg cells. Importantly, metagenome analysis with feces of colon revealed a facility-specific flora. RRBS using liver DNA showed hypomethylation in the ARNTL/BMAL1 gene. Our finding indicates that Ahr dysfunction is involved in IBD pathogenesis with changes probably in the gut flora producing Ahr-endogenous ligands.
