چکیده
Figure S1. Caspase-11-/-mice show increased morbidity to colitis induced with 4% DSS (a) The percentage of body weight and (b) the clinical score of C57BL/6J, C11-/-and C1-/-/11-/-mice induced with 4% DSS (n = 10 per group). Data depict the mean ± SEM. Statistical significance between DSS-treated C57BL/6J and C11-/-mice is indicated.

Protective Effects of Pioglitazone against Dextran Sodium Sulphate-Induced Colitis in Rats.
The aim of the present study is to investigate the preventive effect of pioglitazone on colitis induced with dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) in rats. Twenty-four male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 180-200 g were randomized into four groups. Rats of the 1st group received only saline and served as normal group. Colitis was induced in the remaining 3 groups by 1.5% DSS administered in drinking water ...
متن کاملSurface hydrophobicity of the rat colonic mucosa is a defensive barrier against macromolecules and toxins.
BACKGROUND Mucosal surface hydrophobicity is a key factor of the gastric acid defence barrier. In the colon, surface hydrophobicity is high but its biological function remains unexplored. AIMS To investigate the functional changes of the barrier due to removal of the surface active phospholipid layer by a detergent, or to reinforcement of the surface active phospholipid by local application o...
متن کاملModulation of Dextran Sulphate Sodium-Induced Colonic Inflammation by Local Supplementation of Leptin
Background & Aims: Leptin is overproduced in gastrointestinal mucosa during inflammatory processes, suggesting that mucosal cells represent sources of secreted leptin active in the lumen. The effects of leptin, acting apically from colonic epithelial cells, were analysed on dextran sulphate sodium-induced colonic inflammation in rats. Methods: We determined the effects of intracolonic leptin on...
متن کاملHuangqin-tang ameliorates dextran sodium sulphate-induced colitis by regulating intestinal epithelial cell homeostasis, inflammation and immune response
Huangqin-tang (HQT) is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formula widely used for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease in China. However, the molecular mechanisms by which HQT protects the colon are unclear. We studied the protective effects of HQT and the underlying mechanisms in an experimental mouse model and in vitro. In vivo, dextran sodium sulphate (DSS)-induced acute and chronic...
متن کاملOrally administered RDP58 reduces the severity of dextran sodium sulphate induced colitis.
Oral administration of the novel anti-inflammatory peptide RDP58 markedly reduced the severity of dextran sulphate sodium (DSS) colitis as determined by clinical and quantitative histological criteria. The architecture of the colonic epithelium in DSS treated mice receiving RDP58 remained relatively normal compared with that of control DSS treated animals. 5-Bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU) labelli...
