First, responses of these DEGs were routinely more robust in mice fed TWD than AIN during colitis, as noted for genes associated with interferon response (Ifna1, Ifnb1, Ifng, Nos2), inflammation (Il1a, Il4, Il6, Il17f, Il12b, TNF, Nlrp3, S100a8), and chemokines and their receptors (Ccl3, Ccr7, Cxcl10, Cxcr4, Csf3, Csf3r), among others. The gene discussed is IL6; the disease is colitis.
