Elevated Expression of AXL May Contribute to the Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition in Inflammatory Bowel Disease Patients

Figure 3

Decreased expression of miRNAs regulating Axl in inflamed colon. The relative expression of miR-199a (a, b) and miR-34a (c, d) is shown from rat (a, c) and human (b, d) samples. Data on panels (a) and (c) represent control (left columns, ), uninflamed (middle columns, ), and inflamed (right columns, ) rat colon sections and are presented as the mean ± SEM; data on panels (b) and (d) represent inactive (left, ), active-uninflamed (middle, ), and active-inflamed (right, ) colon samples of IBD patients where dots and lines represent individual values and the mean; .
