Molecular Characterization of the Onset and Progression of Colitis in Inoculated Interleukin-10 Gene-Deficient Mice: A Role for PPARα by Bianca Knoch, Matthew P. G. Barnett, Janine Cooney, Warren C. McNabb, Diane Barraclough, William Laing, Shuotun Zhu, Zaneta A. Park, Paul MacLean, Scott O. Knowles, Nicole C. Roy

“…Actin cytoskeleton dynamics, innate immunity, and apoptosis-linked gene and protein expression data suggested a delayed remodeling process in 12-week-old Il10-/- mice. Gene expression changes in 12-week-old Il10-/- mice were related to PPARα signaling likely to control colitis, but how PPARα activation might regulate intestinal IL10 production remains to be determined.…”
