        Se significantly ameliorated the symptoms of colitis and histological injury, increasing the proportions of neutrophils and CD4+ CD25+ T cells and decreasing the proportions of γδT cells, CD4+, CD4+CD44+, and CD4+ CD69+ T cells in LPL. Moreover, Se reduced the expression of IL-6, IFN-γ, IL-17A, IL-21, T-bet, and RORγt, but enhanced the expression of IL-10 and Foxp3. The study suggests that Se protects against DSS-induced chronic colitis perhaps by increasing the number of CD4(+)CD25(+) Tregs that suppress the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines and populations of Th1, Th17, and γδT cells. |
