Abstract

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the intestinal tract and is primarily comprised of Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). Several murine models that include both chemical induced and genetic models have been developed that mimic some aspects of either CD or UC. These models have been instrumental in our understanding of IBD. Of the chemical induced colitis models, dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) induced colitis model is a relatively simple and very widely used model of experimental colitis.

Background

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a complex and multifactorial disease of unknown etiology (Sartor, 2006). However, multiple factors are considered to be critical in conferring IBD susceptibility, e.g., defects in host genetics, environmental triggers, aberrant immune response against microbial and dietary antigens (Sartor, 2006). Several murine models that address specific aspects of the disease process are available (Mizoguchi, 2012). DSS induced experimental colitis is a rapid and widely used model of intestinal inflammation (Perse and Cerar, 2012). Although the exact mechanism of DSS induced colitis is not well understood, it is widely accepted that disruption of the epithelial monolayer resulting in exposure of the underlying immune system to the intestinal contents containing microbiota and microbial products (Perse and Cerar, 2012). DSS induced colonic inflammation can be adapted as acute, chronic or relapsing model of intestinal inflammation by changing the concentration, duration and cycles of administration of DSS in drinking water. In this protocol, we provide a detailed description of procedures, important considerations when performing the protocol. We have used this protocol to address the role of Muc4 in DSS induced colitis in our previous work (Das et al., 2015).
