In the large-intestinal mucosae of rats orally administered dextran sulfate sodium, which induces an enteritis resembling ulcerative colitis (UC), the activity for granzyme A, a lymphocyte tryptase, increased at an earlier stage than that at which UC markers (growth-regulated gene product/cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant-1 and caspase-3) increased. This suggests involvement of the enzyme in the exacerbation and perpetuation of enteritis.
