Analysis of mucosal damage in the cytokine-induced colitis model. Average area of structural damage from each tissue was measured and analyzed using one-way ANOVA followed by Holm–Sidak’s multiple comparison tests. Crypt damage in TNFα and IL-1β (each 10 ng/mL) treated mucosa was highly significant compared to the incubation-control group (∗∗∗∗P < 0.0001). Cytokines-induced damage was reduced in the presence of either 10Panx1 (∗P = 0.0224) or A438079 (∗P = 0.0224), and in the presence of both inhibitors (∗P = 0.0422).
