BMP4 alleviates DSS-induced colitis. (A,B) Body weight and DAI score of mice treated with DSS. At day 3, the control group was administered with saline, the BMP4 group was administered with BMP4, and the BMP4 antibody group was administrated with anti-BMP4 antibody. (C,D) Colon length from different groups. (E) Sections of colon tissues stained with H&E and (F) histology scores from different groups. n = 10 (control), n = 10 (BMP4), n = 10 (anti-BMP4). Data represent mean ± SD with three independent experiments. One-way ANOVA and Bonferroni tests for multiple testing were applied in all cases. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001. Scale bar = 500 and 100 μm.
