CXCR4 high-expressing ERCs in decreasing the percentage of DC in DSS-induced colitis in mice. The spleen was dissected and made into a single-cell suspension. Cells were stained with fluorescently labeled CD11c, MHCII, CD86, and CD40 and detected by flow cytometry. a Dot plots of CD11c⁺MHCII⁺, CD11c⁺CD86⁺, and CD11c⁺CD40⁺ cells. b Percentage of CD11c⁺MHCII⁺, CD11c⁺CD86⁺, and CD11c⁺CD40⁺ cells. ^#ERCs indicated ERCs pretreated with SDF-1. *ERCs indicated inhibition of the function of SDF-1 by AMD3100. The p value was determined by one-way ANOVA. ***p < 0.001, **p < 0.01, *p < 0.05
