Project description:The samples are a part of a study aiming at diagnosing ulcerative colitis from genome-wide gene expression analysis of the colonic mucosa. Colonic mucosal samples were collected as endoscopic pinch biopsies from ulcerative colitis patients and from control subjects. Samples with and without macroscopic signs of inflammation were collected from the patients. Experiment Overall Design: The series contain eight UC samples with macroscopic signs of inflammation, 13 UC smaples without macroscopic signs of inflammation, five control subjects.
Project description:We report ileum gene expression of 37 controls and 158 patients with either Crohn's disease (n=112), ulcerative colitis (n=44), unclassifed IBD (1), or IBS (1). We contrast gene expression in African American (n=104) versus white (n=25) CD and UC patients.
Project description:To evaluate the effects of induction treatment with an anti-TNF, golimumab (GLM), on gene expression in patients with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC), we performed mRNA microarray studies on colon biopsies from patients who participated in the PURSUIT-SC induction study and additional samples from 21 healthy subjects. Comparisons were conducted between baseline UC (n=87) and healthy (n=21), and week 6 (n=75) vs. baseline (n=87) prior to treatment. A significant difference was observed in mRNA expression between UC and healthy. Significant expression modulations were identified in patients who responded to GLM at week 6, but not GLM-treated non-responders or placebo-treated subjects.
Project description:Gene expression patterns of Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) colonic specimens were analyzed using whole-genome microarrays. Healthy control samples were included in order to detect gene expression changes associated with CD or UC. CD and UC samples were also compared in order to identify the molecular mechanisms that distinguish both fenotypes of inflammatory bowel disease.

Total RNA obtained from intestinal biopsies were analyzed using whole-genome microarrays.
