Characterization of Maladaptive Processes in Acute, Chronic and Remission Phases of Experimental Colitis in C57BL/6 Mice.

ABSTRACT: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic recurrent inflammatory disease with unknown etiology. Dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) induced colitis is a widely used mouse model in IBD research. DSS colitis involves activation of the submucosal immune system and can be used to study IBD-like disease characteristics in acute, chronic, remission and transition phases. Insight into colon inflammatory parameters is needed to understand potentially irreversible adaptations to the chronification of colitis, determining the baseline and impact of further inflammatory episodes. We performed analyses of non-invasive and invasive colitis parameters in acute, chronic and remission phases of the DSS colitis in C57BL/6 mice. Non-invasive colitis parameters poorly reflected inflammatory aspects of colitis i
