Schistosoma japonicum attenuates dextran sodium sulfate-induced colitis in mice via reduction of endoplasmic reticulum stress

Figure 5 Endoplasmic reticulum stress markers are downregulated in mice induced with dextran sodium sulfate after infection. A: The expression of IRE1α, IRE1β, GRP78 and CHOP in colon tissues was examined by Western blot; B-E: Respective quantification of IRE1α, IRE1β, GRP78 and CHOP. n = 4. DSS: Dextran sodium sulfate treatment alone; CER + DSS: Infection with S. japonicum before DSS treatment; CER: S. japonicum infection alone.
