Neurotrophic Factors, Tight Junction Proteins, and Cytokines in IBS

March 21, 2020 updated by: Nayoung Kim, Seoul National University Bundang Hospital

Expression of Neurotrophic Factors, Tight Junction Proteins, and Cytokines According to the Irritable Bowel Syndrome Subtype and Sex

To evaluate the role of neurotrophic factors (NGF, GDNF, TRPV-1), to quantity tight junction proteins (ZO-1, occludin, claudin) and cytokines (IL-8, TNF-a, IL-1b) in the colonic mucosa of IBS patients and also clarify sex differences in the pathophysiology of IBS.
