| 1 | Aquaporin-8 expression is reduced in ileum and induced in colon of patients with ulcerative colitis显示文摘AIM: To study susceptibility genes which may play a potential role in the pathogenesis and etiology of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). METHODS: To identify potential susceptibility genes we performed global gene expression profiling in patients with IBD and control specimens. For determination of an intrinsic gene expression profile in ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD) compared to normal subjects, mucosal biopsies of non-inflamed regions of the colon and the terminal ileum were subjected to DNA microarray analysis. Real-time RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry were used for verification of selected regulated candidate genes and a genetic analysis was performed. RESULTS: We could show that aquaporin-8 (AQP8) mRNA and protein levels were significantly increased in the colon of UC patients compared to controls. Genetic analysis of the six exons and the promoter region of AQP8, however, revealed no mutations or polymorphisms in IBD patients. CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that upregulation of AQP8 in the colon of UC patients represents a secondary phenomenon which may, due to altered water exchange of the distal intestinal mucosa, disturb the physiologic colonic mucus barrier and thus lead to chronic infla- mmation and ulceration. | Alexandra Zahn Christoph Moehle Thomas Langmann Robert Ehehalt Frank Autschbach Wolfgang Stremmel Gerd Schmitz | 2007 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2007，13，11： | 13 |
| 2 | Serum bile acid profiling reflects enterohepatic detoxification state and intestinal barrier function in inlammatory bowel disease显示文摘AIM:To determine free and conjugated serum bile acid (BA) levels in in? ammatory bowel disease (IBD) subgroups with defi ned clinical manifestations.METHODS: Comprehensive serum BA profiling was performed in 358 IBD patients and 310 healthy controls by liquid chromatography coupled to electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry.RESULTS: Serum levels of hyodeoxycholic acid, the CYP3A4-mediated detoxification product of the secondary BA lithocholic acid (LCA), was increased significantly in Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), while most other serum BA species were decreased significantly. Total BA, total BA conjugate, and total BA glycoconjugate levels were decreased only in CD, whereas total unconjugated BA levels were decreased only in UC. In UC patients with hepatobiliary manifestations, the conjugated primary BAs glycocholic acid, taurocholic acid, and glycochenodeoxycholic acid were as significantly increased as the secondary BAs LCA, ursodeoxycholic acid, and tauroursodeoxycholic acid compared to UC patients without hepatobiliary manifestations. Finally, we found that in ileocecal resected CD patients, the unconjugated primary BAs, cholic acid and chenode-oxycholic acid, were increased significantly compared to controls and patients without surgical interventions.CONCLUSION: Serum BA profiling in IBD patients that indicates impaired intestinal barrier function and increased detoxification is suitable for advanced diagnostic characterization and differentiation of IBD subgroups with defined clinical manifestations. | Carsten Gnewuch Gerhard Liebisch Thomas Langmann Benjamin Dieplinger Thomas Mueller Meinhard Haltmayer Hans Dieplinger Alexandra Zahn Wolfgang Stremmel Gerhard Rogler Gerd Schmitz | 2009 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2009，15，25： | 4 |
