Here we demonstrate that GPR84 is highly upregulated in inflamed colon tissues of active ulcerative colitis (UC) patients and dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis mice. macrophages are significantly increased in the colonic mucosa of both the UC patients and the mice with colitis Consistently, GPR84-/- mice are resistant to the development of colitis induced by DSS. CLH536, a novel GPR84 antagonist discovered by us, suppresses colitis by reducing the polarization and
