mortality/aging
• exhibit increased survival compared to wild-type when colonic injury and colitis is induced by DSS
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• in a dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) model of murine colonic injury, homozygotes lose less weight than wild-type, show a delay in the onset of intestinal bleeding and the development of loose stool and colitis, and increased survival, indicating protection from induced colitis
|
digestive/alimentary system
• exhibit reduced severity of colitis in a dextran sodium sulfate model of murine colonic injury compared to wild-type
|
immune system
• after DSS treatment to induce colonic injury, homozygotes show less pronounced inflammatory infiltrate in distal colons than in wild-type, without any alteration in the proportion of either macrophages or granulocytes
