CCL2 and colitis: DSS treatment also induced significant changes in the levels of the key chemokines that regulate migration and infiltration of monocytes/macrophages—MCP-1 and MIP-1α (p < 0.05) (Figure 5D,E), the chemokine responsible for attracting immune cells from the peripheral blood to the sites of inflammation—RANTES (p < 0.05) (Figure 5F) and in eotaxin (p < 0.05), which plays an important role in the pathogenesis of colitis (Figure 5C).
