mRNA expression levels of inflammatory cytokines and mucin-encoding genes. The relative mRNA expression levels of (A) TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β, IL-12, (B) MUC1, MUC2, and Reg3r genes were measured and compared after the oral administration of RPG0136 (low-dose: 1 × 10⁸ colony-forming units (CFU)/ml; high-dose: 1 × 10¹⁰ CFU/ml). Data are presented as the average value of the results of four independent experiments with standard deviations, *p < 0.05
