Expression and role of PD-L1 in colonic mucosa of ulcerative colitis patients and DSS-induced colitis mouse model by SONG Yalan, WU Tianyu, CHEN Cong, WU Zhenyu, TANG Xudong

“…Methods A total of 29 colon tissue samples from UC patients aged 18~64 years who underwent the colonoscopy in our department from January 2022 to September 2022 were collected, and another 22 colon tissue samples from non-UC patients were also collected during the same period.The expression of PD-L1 and inflammatory factors IL-1β, IL-6, IL-17a, IL-22 and TGF-β1 were detected by immunohistochemistry and RT-qPCR.Twenty-four male C57BL/6 mice (8~10 weeks old, 23~26 g) were randomly divided into blank control group (n=4), PD-L1-Fc group (n=4), dextran sulfate sodium salt (DSS) group (n=8), and DSS+PD-L1-Fc group (n=8).The mice from the DSS group and DSS+PD-L1-Fc group were given 2.5% DSS solution for 7 consecutive days, and were changed to normal drinking water on the 8th day.The animals of the other groups were given normal drinking water.On the 3rd day, the mice in the PD-L1-Fc group and DSS+PD-L1-Fc group were injected intraperitoneally with PD-L1-Fc protein (1 mg/mL, 40 μg/animal).In 8~10 d after modeling, the expression of PD-L1 in colonic mucosa was detected, and the body weight, fecal traits, morphological changes, histopathological changes and inflammatory factors were observed in different groups. …”
