Figure 7

Gelatin zymograms (7.5% SDS-PAGE) showing matrix metalloproteinase activity in the colon. Matrix metalloproteinase MMP2 (A) and MMP9 (B) activity in the colon. The densitometric intensity of bands is shown in the bar graphs. There was elevated expression of both MMP2 and MMP9 in the dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) + phosphate-buffered saline mice compared with controls, and there was significantly less expression in the DSS + umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UCMSCs) mice (***P <0.001). Values are mean ± standard deviation of three independent experiments. a.u., arbitrary units.
