Matriptase is diminished in colonic epithelium of IBD patients. (A) qPCR analysis of human matriptase mRNA expression relative to GAPDH in 21 CD and 21 UC tissues collected from different individuals, compared with 6 normal tissues. Bars represent the average of mRNA expression normalized to GAPDH expression. (B) Immunostaining for human matriptase protein expression in normal human colon (a) and colonic tissues from CD (b,c) and UC patients (d-f). Arrow indicates area of patchy positive staining. Scale Bars, 100μM
