Figure 9 Proposed mechanism of trans-3-indoleacrylic acid-mediated protection against dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis.
Trans-3-indoleacrylic acid activates aryl hydrocarbon receptor signaling to suppress pro-inflammatory M1 macrophage polarization, thereby alleviating intestinal inflammation and is associated with favorable alterations in gut microbiota composition and short-chain fatty acid profiles. IDA: Trans-3-indoleacrylic acid; DSS: Dextran sulfate sodium; AHR: Aryl hydrocarbon receptor; ARNT: Aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator; SCFA: Short-chain fatty acid; AIP: Aryl hydrocarbon receptor-interacting protein.
