Background/Aims: The non-lysosomal glucosylceramidase, beta-glucosidase (Gba2), hydrolyzes glucosylceramide to glucose and ceramide (Cer). Cer is a potent second-messenger lipid that plays an important role in signaling cascades involved in apoptosis. The aim of this study was to investigate whether Gba2 knock-out (Gba2(-/-)) affects the extent of dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis in mice. Methods: Acute colitis was induced in wild-type (WT) and Gba2(-/-) mice by administration of 2% DSS in drinking water. After 7 days, mice underwent colonoscopy and were sacrificed. Results: Both DSS-treated WT (n = 10) and Gba2(-/-) (n = 12) mice showed elevated histological and endoscopic scores compared to respective H(2)O controls (n = 9 each). However, no
