The aim of the study was to reveal the histopathologic features of intestinal inflammation as demonstrated in BALB/c mice, using the challenge of 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene (DNFB) with or without previous sensitization. Forty mice were randomized into 5 groups. Two groups of animals were treated with rectal enema of 0.2% or 1.0% of 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene solution. Third group was pretreated with 2 sensitizing doses of DNFB. Two control groups were treated with PBS or acetone and vehicle enema only (acetone and olive oil). In order to assess the extent of colonic inflammation and damage, a histopathologic score scale was developed. In contrast to scanty superficial ulcerations and mild edema observed in the control group of animals, edema, ulcerations, hemorrhage, necrosis and infiltration of inflammatory cells were observed in experiment groups treated with enema of DNFB. Total score of lesion as well almost all inflammatory parameters of injury observed were highest in previously sensitized animals. The results of this study clearly demonstrated the pattern of colonic inflammation induced with DNFB using the histopathologic scoring scale system. |
