Oral tolerance is inducible during active dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis

Calycosin attenuates dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced experimental colitis

Objective(s):Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) results from dysregulation of intestinal mucosal immunity. It is an incurable disease that affects millions of people worldwide. Developing new strategies for the treatment of colitis has been a major challenge. Here, we report the effect of calycosin, a plant-derived flavonoid, in successfully managing colitis in murine model. Material and Methods:...

Alloferon Alleviates Dextran Sulfate Sodium-induced Colitis

Dysfunction of gut immune regulation is involved in mucosal damage in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, there is still no efficacious immune-regulator for the treatment of IBD. Alloferon is a novel immune-modulatory peptide that was originally isolated from infected insects. It shows anti-inflammatory effects by the regulation of cytokine production by immune cells and their activities...

Sodium-Induced Colitis through Inhibition Fos Proteins Suppress Dextran Sulfate

Alterations in Muc2 biosynthesis and secretion during dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis.

To gain insight into mucin 2 (Muc2) synthesis and secretion during dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis, rats were treated with DSS for 7 days. Colonic segments were excised on days 0 (control), 2 (onset of disease), 7 (active disease), and 14 (regenerative phase) for histological evaluation. Explants were metabolically labeled with (35)S-labeled amino acids or [(35)S]sulfate followed b...
