ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the correlation of multidrug resistance gene 1 (MDR1),NR3C1 gene polymorphisms and clinical risk factors with efficacy,dependence,and resistance of glucocorticoid (GC) in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).Methods Anti coagulation blood samples of 196 healthy controls and 105 IBD patients received GC therapy were collected.There were 62 ulcerative colitis (UC) and 43 Crohn's disease (CD) in the IBD patients.The number of GC sensitive,GC dependent and GC resistant of UC patients were 36,13 and 13,respectively,and those of CD patients were 24,11 and eight.GC refractoriness included GC dependence and resistance.The genotype of MDR1 C3435T and NR3C1 Bcl Ⅰ of all the subjects was detected by the restriction fragment length polymorphism-polymerase chain reaction (RFLP-PCR).The correlation between each genotype frequency,clinical features of patients with IBD and the efficacy of GC treatment was analyzed by Chisquare test,Fisher exact probability method or t test.Results Among UC patients,the disease course of GC refractory group and GC resistant group was longer than that of GC sensitive group ((6.660±1.523)years,(6.500±1.111) yearsvs (3.350±0.697) years,t=2.211,P=0.031; t=2.930,P=0.005).The serum level of C reaction protein (CRP) of GC refractory group was higher than that of GC sensitive group ((47.628±13.913) mg/Lvs (16.854±4.121) mg/L,t=2.121,P=0.047).The chronic relapse type was more common in GC refractory UC patients (Fisher exact probability method,P=0.035),and severe patients were more common in UC with GC resistance (Fisher exact probability method,P=0.021).The white blood cell count of GC resistant and GC refractory CD patient was lower than that of GC sensitive CD patients ((5.710 ± 0.604) ×109/L,(5.878±0.405) × 109/L vs (7.814 ±0.670) × 109/L,t=2.334,P=0.028; t=2.045,P=0.018).Patients with extraqntestinal manifestations was more common in CD with GC resistance (Fisher exact probability method,P=0.035).There was no statistically significant difference in the frequencies of MDR1 C3435T,NR3C1 Bcl Ⅰ genotypes,allelic genes and gene carrier among control group and GC sensitive dependent and resistant group of IBD patients.However,the frequency of MDR1 C3435T gene carrier was significantly different between GC sensitive group and GC refractory group,especially between GC sensitive group and GC resistance group (68.33％ vs 48.89％,x2 =4.051,P=0.044; 68.33％ vs 42.86％,x2 =4.274,P =0.039).Conclusions GC sensitivity of IBD patients with MDR1 C3435T loci T gene carrier was higher than that of IBD patients without T gene carrier.NR3C1 gene polymorphisms was not related with GC resistance and GC dependence.Compared with GC sensitive IBD patients,in GC resistant and GC dependent IBD pantient UC patients with long disease course,chronic relapse type,severe type,high level of CRP and CD patients with low white blood cell count and extra-intestinal manifestations were more common.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate differential expressed protein in the intestinal mucosa of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) with antibody chips,and to explore the possible role of the screened proteins in pathogenesis of IBD.Methods The mucosa tissues of nine patients with ulcerative colitis (UC),nine patients with Crohn's disease (CD) and nine control individuals were collected.After total protein of each group was extracted,the differential expressed protein of each group was analyzed by Raybiotech L-series human cytokine antibody chips.The mucose tissues of other nine patients with UC,nine patients with CD and nine control individuals were collected,and were used to verify the greatly differential expressed proteins by Western blot.The t-test was performed to compare two groups.Results Compared with the control group,there was significantly difference in 263 cytokines of UC group,and 414 cytokines of CD group.And then the higher expressions of herpes virus entry mediator,leukemia inhibitory factor and platelet factor 4 in the mucosa tissues of IBD patients were confirmed by Western blot and the differences were statistically significant (UC:t=23.85,9.53,18.88; CD:t=13.54,16.65,13.67,all P＜0.01).Conclusion The screened differential expressed cytokines in the mucosa tissues of IBD patients by cytokine antibody chips could be helpful to reveal the pathogenesis of IBD and discover new molecular biomarkers.
