	P value	Statistic methods
Degree of NFAT2 nucleotranslocation1
Onset age (yr, mean ± SD)1	0.9484	t-test
Gender (M vs F) 1	0.651	χ2 test
Disease duration (< 3 m vs > 3 m) 1	0.507	χ2 test
Outcome (survived vs non-survived3)1	0.081	Fisher’s exact test
Outcome (colectomy vs non-colectomy)1	0.164	Fisher’s exact test
Degree of NFAT2 nucleotranslocation2
Endoscopic grade (1-4)2	0.0281	Kendall’s-rank correlation coefficient τ = 0.2145
Histological grade (1-4)2	0	Kendall’s-rank correlation coefficient τ = 0.4167

¹The degree of NFAT2 nucleo-translocation is divided into < 50% vs > 50% of LPMCs.

²The degree of NFAT2 nucleo-translocation is categorized into 0%, < 10%, 10%-50%, 50%-90%, > 90% of LPMCs.

³Non-survived: Died of complications of UC.
