Transgene IL-37 expression is associated with improved clinical outcome of chronic colitis in IL-10KO mice. Mild colitis was induced in IL-10KO/IL-37tg and IL-10KO mice which were scored in regards to (A) percent weight change (0: none, 1: −5%, 2: 5–10%, 3: 10–15%, 4: >15%), (B) blood in the stool (0: normal, 2: slight bleeding, 4: gross bleeding), (C) stool consistency (0: normal, 2: loose stool, 4: watery diarrhea) and (D) colon length (E) Overall disease activity: Clinical severity of colitis (stool consistency, weight loss and fecal blood) were recorded daily for the first 15 days and three times weekly thereafter (F) Overall survival. Open circles/bars: IL10KO (n = 10), closed circles/bars: IL-10KO/IL-37tg (n = 5). *p < 0.01. Statistical significance tested with Mann-Whitney-Test.
