CHRNA7 and colitis: Methods: Using a chronic dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis model in wild-type and α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7nAChR) knockout mice, along with lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages, we assessed SVHRSP’s effects on inflammation, histopathology, gut permeability, oxidative stress markers, and α7nAChR-Janus kinase 2 (JAK2)/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) signaling.
