Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) analysis of the level of IL-33 in colon explant cultures at the indicated time points (days 0, 2, 4, 6, 8) during the 7-day dextran sulfate sodium salt (DSS) treatment in wildtype (WT) and CCL5 knockout ( Ccl5 -KO) mice ( n = 6 per group). ( B ) Immunoblotting of IL-33 and ST2 in intestinal epithelial cells of WT and Ccl5 -KO mice 4 days after 7-day 2.5% DSS administration. ( C ) Immunoblotting of NF-κB ( P65 ) related pathway in intestinal epithelium of WT and Ccl5 -KO mice 4 days after 7-day 2.5% DSS administration. ( D ) Immunofluorescence staining for P65 (red) in colonic sections of WT and Ccl5 -KO mice 4 days after 7-day 2.5% DSS administration; DNA (DAPI, blue); scale bars, 50 μm. White arrows indicate P65-positive cells with nuclear translocation. ( E ) Immunoblotting of PI3K/Akt pathway in intestinal epithelium of WT and Ccl5 -KO mice 4 days after 7-day 2.5% DSS administration. ( F ) ELISA analysis of IL-33 levels in colon explant cultures of WT and Ccl5 -KO mice at the indicated time points (days 0, 2, 4, 6, 8) during 7-day DSS treatment with CCL5 small protein interventions ( n = 6 per group). ( G ) Colon length measurements on day 12 in Ccl5 -KO mice treated with different drug groups (control, CCL5 small protein, CCL5 small protein + BAY 11-7082, CCL5 small protein + Capivasertib); n = 6 per group. ( H ) Recording of DAI different time points ( D0, D3, D6, D9, D12 ) in different drug treatment groups during the treatment period. ( I ) Immunoblot analysis of corresponding protein levels in the intestinal epithelial tissues of Ccl5 -KO mice after treatment with different drug groups. ( J ) Immunofluorescence staining analysis of P65-positive (red) cells in the intestines of Ccl5 -KO mice treated with different drug groups (control, CCL5 small protein, CCL5 small protein + Capivasertib); DNA (DAPI, blue), scale bars, 50 μm. White arrows indicate P65-positive cells with nuclear translocation. Results shown are the mean ± SEM (ns, nonsignificant; * P <0.05, ** P <0.01, *** P <0.001, **** P <0.0001) of triplicate determination from three independent experiments.
Article Snippet: To assess the role of IL-33 [ ], recombinant IL-33 (10 ng/μl, Soluble, Mouse, Recombinant, HY-P7218, MCE) was intraperitoneally injected daily at a dose of 100 μL (10 ng/μL) following 7 days of DSS treatment. rIL-33 was administered intraperitoneally at the aforementioned dosage daily from the onset of DSS induction.
