Vertical transmission of intestinal microbiota altered by 5-aminosalicylic acid leads to a protective effect protect against dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis. The severity of colitis was assessed on day 7 after dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis was initiated in the 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA)-derived group and non-treated (NT)-derived group. Male data are shown (n = 5 in the NT-derived group and n = 11 in the 5-ASA-derived group) (A) disease activity index. (B) The length of the cecum, length of the colon, and the colon weight per length with representative macroscopic images. (C) Histological score of the colon with representative microscopic images (×200 and ×400). (D) Histological scores of score 1 (inflammatory cell infiltrate) and score 2 (intestinal architecture). (E) Body weight changes during DSS treatment. The data are the mean ± SEM. **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, Mann–Whitney U-test. Female data are shown in Supplemental Figure S9.
