TRPV Subfamily (TRPV2, TRPV3, TRPV4, TRPV5, and TRPV6) Gene and Protein Expression in Patients with Ulcerative Colitis

Figure 2

Protein expression of TRPV2 in intestinal tissue from patients with UC and controls. TRPV2 protein expression in colonic tissue samples obtained from patients with severe ulcerative colitis and noninflamed colonic tissue. (a) Immunoperoxidase photomicrographs of ulcerative colitis (lower panel, ) and non-IBD colonic tissue (control; upper panel, ). Arrows indicate TRPV2 immunoreactive cells in the mucosa, submucosa muscular, and serosa layers. Original magnification was ×320. (b) TRPV2-producing cell percentage in noninflamed colonic tissues (control, ) and active UC patients () is shown in bars.
