Aim: To investigate the regulation of mindin expression and the signaling pathway involved during inflammation.
Methods: C57BL/6 mice were treated with 3% dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) in drinking water for 6 d to induce acute colitis, and then the colon was harvested for histological analysis or for RNA isolation. mRNA expression of mindin and nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB p65 was analyzed by quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and mindin expression construct was confirmed by Western blotting.
