B. longum-Endo administration further accelerates the recovery of DSS-induced acute inflammatory bowel disease in mice. (A) Schematic diagram of rehabilitation experimental model of acute colitis. The mice drank water normally for 5 days after taking 3% DSS for 7 days. (B) Representative photographs showing colon tissue. (C) Representative hematoxylin and eosin-stained sections of colon and histopathological scores. (D) Detection of myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity at days 7 and 12. (E) Detection of tight junction proteins ZO-1 and Occludin expression levels by qRT-PCR analysis at days 7 and 12. (F) Detection of proinflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 expression levels by RT-PCR analysis at days 7 and 12. Data are expressed as mean ± SD of three independent experiments (n = 6–8). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001, and ns: not significant.
