Fig. 5From: Chronic ethanol feeding promotes azoxymethane and dextran sulfate sodium-induced colonic tumorigenesis potentially by enhancing mucosal inflammationEthanol elevates inflammatory cells in colonic mucosa of AOM/DSS-treated mice: AOM/DSS-induced colonic tumorigenesis was induced with (EF) or without (PF) 4 % ethanol feeding as described in Methods section. At the pre-cancerous stage (Day 44; 2 week after second course od DSS colitis) cryosections of distal colon were stained for myeloperoxidase (MPO) (a), Gr1 (b) and CD68 (c) and co-stained for F-actin and nucleus. Images presented are representative of n of 5 for each groupBack to article page
