• colons show no infiltration of granulocytes/monocytes, ulceration, or fibrosis and appear healthy
|
• mice are protected against Dextran Sodium Sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis, showing a reduction in body weight loss, disease activity index, colitis histology index score, inflammation, and colonic cytokine and chemokine levels, however no differences are seen in spleen weight or colon weight/length ratio
• mice with DSS-induced colitis show lower percentage of monocytes and a higher percentage of maturing monocytes in inflamed colons compared to controls, while no difference is seen for neutrophils, dendritic cells, and macrophage populations
|
hematopoietic system
• cultured bone marrow derived macrophages differentiated into M2 macrophages show a reduction in TNF-alpha and IL-6 response when stimulated with LPS compared to wild-type M2 macrophages, indicating that LPS-mediated cytokine responses are reduced in macrophages
• Polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid (Poly I:C)-mediated, but not Zymosan-mediated, cytokine responses are reduced in macrophages
