Figure 7. CSD inhibited the expression of cGAS and the content of inflammatory factors in UC mice intestinal tissues. (A) Representative WB of cGAS in the intestine; (B) Statistical map of cGAS protein content in the intestine; (C) cGAS mRNA levels in the intestine; (D) IFN-β mRNA levels in the intestine; (E) ELISA measured the content of CCL17 in the intestine; (F) ELISA measured the content of IL10 in the intestine; (G) ELISA measured the content of TNF-α in the intestine; (H) ELISA measured the content of CXCL10 in the intestine; (I) CCL17 mRNA levels in intestine; (J) IL10 mRNA levels in intestine; (K) TNF- α mRNA levels in intestine; (L) CXCL10 mRNA levels in intestine. The results are mean ± SD, n = 3–6, *p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001 vs. DSS group.
