LCN2 and enterocolitis: Moreover, a study demonstrated that colonisation of Escherichia coli 541-15 in mice with enterocolitis effectively attenuated enterocolitis injury, decreased intestinal permeability, reduced centriole clusters in the lamina propria and epithelium, and reduced the expression of pro-inflammatory markers, lipocalin-2 and myeloperoxidase, as found in the faeces of mice colonised with E. coli 541-15.
