A. argyi ethanol extract ameliorated inflammatory responses in Peyer’s patches from mice with DSS-induced colitis. a, b Levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β and PGE2) were determined using the supernatant of primary cultured cells derived from mouse Peyer’s patches. c mRNA expression levels of inflammation-related genes, including IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-10, in Peyer’s patches. The mRNA levels were normalized to GAPDH levels. Data are presented as mean ± SEM from three independent experiments. Different superscripts indicate significant differences at P < 0.05. CON, the mice group was treated with pure water; DSS, the mice group was treated with 3% DSS solution; ASA, the mice group was treated with 3% DSS solution and 100 mg kg-1 day-1 of 5-amino salicylic acid (5-ASA); AA, the mice group was treated with 3% DSS solution and 200 mg kg-1 day-1 of A. argyi extract
