Transcriptional and Molecular Pathways Activated in Mesenteric Adipose Tissue and Intestinal Mucosa of Crohn’s Disease Patients

Figure 3

Evaluation of cytokines gene expressions in the mesenteric adipose tissue of Crohn’s disease patients. Inflammatory signaling pattern in the mesenteric adipose tissue of Crohn’s disease patients. mRNA levels (qRT-PCR) of TNFα (a), IL6 (b), IL8 (c), IL23A (d), and IL10 (e) in the mesenteric adipose tissue (MAT) of CD patients (ACD Group) compared to controls (AC Group). Western blot analysis of TNFα (f), IL17 (g), IL23 (h), and IL10 (i) in the mesenteric adipose tissue (MAT) of CD patients (ACD Group) compared to controls (AC Group). Each band represents one patient. For ACD, ; for AC, ,  ,  , and versus control. TA: transcription amount. ASU: arbitrary scanning unit.
