immune system
• mice show increased susceptibility to dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis, showing increased body weight loss, rectal bleeding and diarrhea, shorter colons, massive disruption of colon mucosal structures and thickened walls, and increased colon inflammation compared to wild-type mice
|
• bone marrow derived macrophages treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) produce increased amounts of inducible nitric oxide synthase, an M1 marker, but normal amount of arginase 1, a M2 marker, indicating increased M1 macrophage polarization
|
• bone marrow derived macrophages treated with LPS show increased induction of IL-6, TNF-alpha, IL-12, and IL-1beta and higher secretion of IL-6, TNF-alpha, and IL-12
• however, macrophages differentiate normally
|
neoplasm
• mice treated with azoxymethane (AOM) followed by 3 cycles of DSS show increased tumor number and size in colons, higher tumor loads, and increased weight loss compared to treated wild-type controls
• AOM- and DSS-treated mice show a large increase in adenomas with a higher degree of dysplasia, of which about 50% are classified as severe-grade dysplasia compared to only about 20% in wild-type mice
|
digestive/alimentary system
• mice show increased susceptibility to dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis, showing increased body weight loss, rectal bleeding and diarrhea, shorter colons, massive disruption of colon mucosal structures and thickened walls, and increased colon inflammation compared to wild-type mice

hematopoietic system
• bone marrow derived macrophages treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) produce increased amounts of inducible nitric oxide synthase, an M1 marker, but normal amount of arginase 1, a M2 marker, indicating increased M1 macrophage polarization
|
• bone marrow derived macrophages treated with LPS show increased induction of IL-6, TNF-alpha, IL-12, and IL-1beta and higher secretion of IL-6, TNF-alpha, and IL-12

|
homeostasis/metabolism
• mice treated with azoxymethane (AOM) followed by 3 cycles of DSS show increased tumor number and size in colons, higher tumor loads, and increased weight loss compared to treated wild-type controls
• AOM- and DSS-treated mice show a large increase in adenomas with a higher degree of dysplasia, of which about 50% are classified as severe-grade dysplasia compared to only about 20% in wild-type mice
