Differential mRNA expression in ileal and colonic biopsies in irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea or constipation.

ABSTRACT: Altered mucosal functions are documented in jejunal or colorectal mucosa from patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Our aim was to quantify ileal, ascending, and rectosigmoid colon mucosal expression of genes in IBS-diarrhea (D) and IBS-constipation (C). Forty-four patients with IBS-D, 30 with IBS-C, and 30 healthy volunteers underwent colonoscopic ileal, ascending, and rectosigmoid colon biopsies. Biopsies were stored in RNA_later at -80 °C, purified with on-column DNase, cDNA libraries prepared from 100-200 ng of total RNA, sequenced on Illumina NovaSeq 6000, and analyzed on Illumina's RTA version 3.4.4. Normalized mRNA expression was obtained using MAP-RSeq bioinformatics pipeline. Differential expressions in the groups (Log2-fold change) were measured using the bioinf
