Figure 8

Western blot analysis of the endoplasmic reticulum stress response in the colon of control and treated mice. The densitometric analysis showed a significant decrease in binding immunoglobulin protein (BIP) and protein disulfide isomerases (PDI) in the dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) + umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UCMSCs) mice when compared with the DSS + phosphate-buffered saline mice. (***P <0.001). β-actin was used as a loading control. The densitometric intensity of bands is shown in the bar graphs. Values are mean ± standard deviation of three independent experiments. a.u., arbitrary units; PERK, PKR-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase.
