Gene expression data from a cohort of Chilean Ulcerative Colitis human intestinal samples. Gene expression data from a cohort of Chilean Ulcerative Colitis human intestinal samples

Different genes, especially cytokines, have been deregulated in the inflammatory environment of intestinal mucosa in ulcerative colitis patients. The effects of differential gene expression such as immunological factors have been described before, however, there is no evidence of alarmins deregulated by microRNAs impacting on the pathophysiology of UC. Our goal is to study deregulated genes in inflamed mucosa for microRNA pairing in a Chilean cohort of patients. We used microarrays to compare inflamed and non inflamed mucosa from chilean ulcerative colitis patients Overall design: Inflamed and non inflamed human Intestinal biopsies were obtained in colonoscopy from Ulcerative Colitis patients and we performed gene expresion microarrays to analyze the molecular interaction between them and to determine possible relationships associated to the pathophysiology and clinical presentation
