Persistence of gene expression changes in noninflamed and inflamed colonic mucosa in ulcerative colitis and their presence in colonic carcinoma

Figure 3 RT-PCR analysis of MEF2b gene expression in normal colonic mucosa and UC mucosa (inflamed, non-inflamed). A: Analysis was performed on five normal control mucosa (N1-N5) and three non-inflamed UC mucosa (NI) was performed on four paired inflamed mucosa (I) and non-inflamed mucosa (NI); B: Analysis was performed on four paired inflamed mucosa (I) and non-inflamed mucosa (NI). G3PDH was used as a control for cDNA synthesis; C and D: Semiquantification of MEF2b gene expression (MEF2b/G3PDH) was performed in six paired UC mucosa and six normal control mucosa using NIH image software.
