PPARs play an important role in the regulation of intestinal inflammation.
We included a total of 46 UC patients and 31 controls. The gene expression of PPARs was measured by RT-PCR and protein expression by immunohistochemistry.
PPARα gene expression was significantly decreased in patients with active UC compared with remission UC group (P = 0.001) and controls (P = 0.001). We found that low gene expression of PPARα in mucosa confers a higher risk of UC activity (P ≤ 0.0001, OR = 22.6). We observed an increase of PPARα expression in patients with UC who were treated with 5-aminosalicylates compared with those who received any other combined therapy (P = 0.03, OR = 0.08). PPARγ gene expression was decreased in the active UC group compared with UC in remission (P = 0.001) and control group (P = 0.001). An increased expression of PPARγ gene was associated with mild clinical course of the disease (P ≤ 0.001, OR = 0.05). No gene expression of PPARβ/δ was found in the colonic mucosa from UC patients and controls.
Our results suggest that patients with high gene expression of PPARs have a better response to medical treatment and a mild clinical course of the disease.
过氧化物酶体增殖物激活受体(PPARs)在肠道炎症调节中起重要作用。
我们共纳入46例溃疡性结肠炎(UC)患者和31例对照。通过逆转录聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)检测PPARs的基因表达,通过免疫组织化学检测蛋白表达。
与缓解期UC组(P = 0.001)和对照组(P = 0.001)相比,活动期UC患者的PPARα基因表达显著降低。我们发现黏膜中PPARα基因低表达赋予UC活动更高风险(P≤0.0001,比值比[OR]=22.6)。我们观察到,与接受任何其他联合治疗的UC患者相比,接受5-氨基水杨酸治疗的UC患者PPARα表达增加(P = 0.03,OR = 0.08)。与缓解期UC(P = 0.001)和对照组(P = 0.001)相比,活动期UC组的PPARγ基因表达降低。PPARγ基因表达增加与疾病的轻度临床病程相关(P≤0.001,OR = 0.05)。在UC患者和对照的结肠黏膜中未发现PPARβ/δ的基因表达。
我们的结果表明,PPARs基因高表达的患者对药物治疗反应更好,且疾病临床病程较轻。
