digestive/alimentary system
• lamina propia myofibroblasts within the ulcers of DSS (+ 2 days recovery) treated mice are disorganized and fail to elongate along the basal-luminal axis
|
• intestinal crypts do not regenerate in DSS treated (+ 2 days recovery) mice
|
• observed in DSS treated (+ 2 days recovery) mice
|
• colons from DSS treated (+ 2 days recovery) mice remain distended, hemorrhagic and necrotic and lack elongated, hyperproliferative crypts
|
• observed in DSS treated (+ 2 days recovery) mice
|
• intestinal crypts do not regenerate in DSS treated (+ 2 days recovery) mice
• pH3+ (a mitotic marker) cells are reduced in number
|
• intestinal crypts do not regenerate in DSS treated (+ 2 days recovery) mice
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
• intestinal crypts do not regenerate in DSS treated (+ 2 days recovery) mice
|
immune system
• intestinal crypts do not regenerate in DSS treated (+ 2 days recovery) mice
|
mortality/aging
• most mice die within 2 days following the completion of 5 days (D5+2) of dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) treatment
• control mice exhibit almost complete recovery of intestinal mucosal architecture 9 days after DSS treatment
