Protective effect of HM0539 on DSS-induced colitis. C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into control group (CON), DSS-colitis group (DSS) and HM0539-treated DSS-colitis group (HM0539 + DSS). Mice were gavage fed with pectin/zein control or pectin/zein beads containing HM0539 from days 1 to 9. DSS colitis was induced by adding 3% DSS in the drinking water from days 3 to 9. All mice were sacrificed at day 12, the colitis severity and intestinal dysfunction were evaluated. (A) Body weight of mice from 1 to 7 days after DSS treatment. (B,C) Colon length of mice at day 12. Immunohistochemical staining and semiquantitative analysis of MUC2 (D, upper panel, E) and ZO-1 (D, middle panel, F) of the colon section. (D, lower panel) HE staining of colon section. Data are given as means ± SEM; ∗∗P < 0.01, ∗∗∗P < 0.001.
