Treatment Summary:Acute colitis was induced in wild type (WT) C57BL/6 mice via addition of 1.25% DSS into the drinking water for seven days. To gain insight on chronic intestinal inflammation, we used C57BL/6 IL-10-/- mice that spontaneously develop chronic colon inflammation. This inflammation is not chemically induced, but rather is considered to be a result of a dysregulated immune system, which more resembles the clinical manifestation of chronic UC and CD patients and mimics a monogenic form of IBD20. In order to synchronize and accelerate the onset of chronic colitis, mice were exposed to 200 ppm piroxicam (Sigma-Aldrich ltd.) via supplementation in normal murine chow for 14 days. With the described experimental procedures, we obtained five groups of mice (10 mice per group) for further analysis: 1) Healthy WT; 2) Day 4 of DSS (pre-symptomatic); 3) Day 10 of DSS (acute colitis); 4) Healthy IL-10-/- (pre-symptomatic); and 5) Ill IL-10-/- (chronic colitis).
