C57BL6/J (B6) mice lacking Se-dependent GSH peroxidase 1 and 2 (GPx1/2-DKO) develop mild to moderate ileocolitis around weaning. These DKO mice have a disease resembling human very-early-onset inflammatory bowel disease (VEOIBD), which is associated with mutations in NADPH oxidase genes. Drugs including dexamethasone (Dex), Tofacitinib (Tofa; a Janus kinase/JAK inhibitor) and anti-TNF antibody are effective to treat adult, but not pediatric IBD.
