On the contrary, Alhagi/MSC significantly downregulated the expression of apoptosis and inflammasome-related proteins, such as NLRP3, BAX, and Caspase3 levels, and weakened the TUNEL positive signal in DSS-induced mouse colitis models (Figure 6 and Figure 7C,G), while it increased the PCNA expression levels (Figure 7F,G). Here, BAX is linked to colitis.
