CDT induces RAGE expression and proinflammatory cytokine production in the mouse small intestine. (A) Mice were treated with PBS or CDT (2.5 mg/kg) by intragastric gavage once every 2 days for six administrations. Arrows in red indicated the days of CDT administration. (B) Tissue sections of the jejunum were prepared and fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde and subjected to hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) or immunohistochemical (IHC) staining with antibodies against RAGE, HMGB1, IL-1β, TNF-α, and IL-6, respectively. The magnified images are shown in the right panel of each cropped area. Arrows in yellow represented severe infiltration of inflammatory cells in the intestinal epithelium with pathological derangement. Pronounced expression of proinflammatory cytokines shown in intestinal tissues were indicated by red arrows. Scale bars in left panels, 20 μm and in magnified right panels, 200 μm.
