ABSTRACT:Pregnancy requires a higher functional beta cell mass and this is associated with profound changes in the gene expression profile of pancreatic islets. Taking Tph1 as a sensitive marker for pregnancy-related islet mRNA expression in female mice, we previously identified prolactin receptors ...

Microarrays were used to analyze the gene expression in endoscopic-derived intestinal mucosal biopsies from patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and controls Mucosal biopsies were obtained at endoscopy from the colon of 97 ulcerative colitis (UC), 8 Crohn's disease (CD) patients and 11 co...

We used microarrays to identify mucosal gene signatures predictive of response to infliximab (IFX) in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and to gain more insight into the pathogenesis of IBD. Keywords: drug response and treatment effect Mucosal biopsies were obtained at endoscopy in act...

Infliximab, an anti-TNF-alpha monoclonal antibody, is an effective treatment for ulcerative colitis (UC) with over 60% of patients responding to treatment and up to 30% reaching remission. The mechanism of resistance to anti-TNF-alpha is unknown. This study used colonic mucosal gene expression to pr...

The lack of suitable animal models reflecting chronically relapsing inflammation and tissue remodeling have hindered fibrosis research in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). This study investigated changes in connective tissue in a chronic murine model using different cycles of dextran sodium sulphat...

Increased levels of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) have been detected in fibrotic strictures in Crohn’s disease. In a murine model of chronic inflammation, fibrosis was associated with an increase in TIMP-1 and inhibition of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-mediated degradation. We...

Gene expression microarrays were used to compare gene alterations induced by exposure to equitoxic doses of crocidolite asbestos and cristobalite silica in an isolate of normal human bronchial epithelial cells. Primary human bronchial epithelial cells (NHBE) were exposed to crocidolite asbestos, cri...
