miRNA-133a-UCP2 pathway regulates inflammatory bowel disease progress by influencing inflammation, oxidative stress and energy metabolism

Figure 4 Changes in markers of apoptosis and inflammation in the dextran sulfate sodium, UCP2 and miR-133a groups. A: Changes in apoptosis in the different groups, as shown by dTUNEL staining (brown colour in the cell indicates apoptosis); B: Changes in the levels of IL-6, MCP1, TNF-α and IL-1β in the different groups. ^aP < 0.05, ^bP < 0.01 vs control; ^cP < 0.05, ^dP < 0.01 vs DSS. DSS: Dextran sulfate sodium.
