Validation of a modified model of TNBS-induced colitis in rats. How to induce a chemical colitis in rats
2014
Background: there are no standard practice in the induction of colitis by 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic (TNBS) acid. Usually, the repeated administration of TNBS is preferred, because it will result in a local Th1 response that has the characteristics of Crohn's disease. material and Methods: A total of 30 rats were randomized into two groups, consisting of a saline control group of ten rats and a TNBS groups of 20 rats. After the animals were anesthesized, 0,5 ml of either 0,9 % saline 8controls) or TNBS 50 mg/Kg dissolved in 50% ethanol were instilled into the colon through a rubber catheter. The experiment was repeated weekly for four weeks, then, the rats were killed at day 40, and the…
Modulation of mucin 2 and mucin 3 in colitis induced by iodoacetamide and enteropathogenic bacteria in rats
2016
The iinate and acquired immune systems are both implicarted in the etiology of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) in addition to the genetic predisposition, the environmental factors and the intestinal flora covering the mucosa. A defect in the mucous covering will lead to an invasion of pathogens and stimulation of the immuune response with aberrations of mucin 2, the major mucin of the mucous layer. Aim: this study aims to assess the modulation of colonic MUC 2 and MUC 3 in a arat model of IBD induced by a combination of iodoacetamide and enteropatogenic E. Coli. Methods: 78 sprague-Dawley female rats were divided into 4 groups. Each group was subjeceted, on a basis, to a rectal injection o…
