Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a highly prevalent disorder of the gastrointestinal tract characterized by abdominal pain, bloating, and disturbed bowel function. Here we report on the analysis of microarray expression profiles of sigmoid colon mucosal biopsies from IBS patients and healthy contro...
ORGANISM(S): Homo sapiens 
Background & Aims: Visceral hypersensitivity, a hallmark of irritable bowel syndrome, is generally considered to be mechanosensitive in nature and mediated via spinal afferents. Both stress and inflammation are implicated in visceral hypersensitivity, but the underlying molecular mechanisms of visce...

Vagal afferent neurons are thought to convey primarily physiological information, whereas spinal afferents transmit noxious signals from the viscera to the central nervous system. In order to elucidate molecular identities for these different properties, we compared gene expression profiles of neu...
