Additional file 4: Fig. S4. Effects of cilostazol treatment on complete blood counts after CLP. a, b The level of platelets (a), WBC (b), NEUT (c), MONO (d) and LYMPH (e) (n = 5). WBC, white blood cells; NEUT, neutrophil; MONO, monocyte; LYMPH, lymphocyte. The data are presented as the mean ± SEM, *P < 0.05, ***P < 0.001, and ns indicates no significant difference.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is the most prevalent form of chronic inflammatory bowel disease, the etiology of which is poorly understood. This study investigated the role of miR-151-5p on UC and explored the role of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in a UC mouse model and cell model. A UC mouse model was engineered by dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) induction. Primary mouse intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) were isolated. Colitis mice were intraperitoneally injected with miR-151-5p antagomir and...
