Abstract
Purpose
Abnormalities of the solute-linked carrier family 26 member A3 (SLC26A3) are implicated in the pathogenesis of several diseases including ulcerative colitis (UC). The short communication aimed at investigating the associations of UC with SLC26A3 (rs17154444, rs7810937, rs7785539, rs2108225 and rs6951457) polymorphisms and its expression in colonic tissues.
Methods
The techniques of SNaPshot method, quantitative real-time PCR and immunohistochemical analysis were conducted.
Results and conclusion
We found that the rs2108225 variation in SLC26A3 might increase the risk of UC and affect its expression at both the mRNA and protein levels in colonic tissues of patients with UC. Moreover, the rs17154444 variation might influence the severity of UC.
