Gene Expression Profiling of Mediators Associated with the Inflammatory Pathways in the Intestinal Tissue from Patients with Ulcerative Colitis

Figure 1

Gene expression profile of autophagy and endoplasmic reticulum stress in the colonic mucosa from patients with UC and controls. Gene expression. RT-qPCR was performed to assess mRNA levels in the colonic mucosa biopsies from UC patients; bars show means with standard error of (a) IRGM, (b) AGR2, (c) XBP1, and (d) ORDML3 transcript levels with GAPDH as housekeeping gene determined by ; differences among groups were assessed by Kruskall-Wallis test, and values are presented in the figure. Statistical significance was considered when value was <0.05.
