Effects of AM on the expression of NLRP3 inflammasome proteins and β-arrestin1 signaling proteins in the colon tissue of mice with DSS-induced colitis. (a) Immunohistochemical staining results of the NLRP3 inflammasome and β-arrestin1 in colon tissue (×100). (b–e) Score of the immunohistochemical staining results. The protein expression of β-arrestin1 (f). The protein expression of β-arrestin1 was quantitated by Image software (g). The data are presented as the mean ± SEM. ^∗∗P < 0.01, compared to the normal group; ^#P < 0.05 and ^##P < 0.01, compared to the model group.
