CCDC88B expression in inflamed colons from patients with IBD. a CCDC88B mRNA expression in colon tissue samples extracted from surgical specimens of patients with Crohn’s Disease (CD, n = 11), Ulcerative colitis (UC, n = 46) or normal control (NL, n = 73). Data represent expression of CCDC88B relative to the ribosomal protein L32 (mean±SEM; **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001; two-tailed Student’s t-test). b Immunoblot analysis of CCDC88B and β-ACTIN performed on colonic tissue extracts obtained from surgical specimens of patients with CD (n = 4), UC (n = 4) or NL controls (n = 4). Each lane denotes an individual patient sample. Densitometric quantification of CCDC88B and β-actin immunoblots. Bar graphs represent normalized relative density of each lane (n = 4 patient samples). c IL-8 mRNA expression in colon tissues samples from CD (n = 69), UC (n = 7) and NL (n = 38). Data represent expression of IL8 relative to the ribosomal protein L32 (mean±SEM; **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001; two-tailed Student’s t-test). d, e Immunofluorescence staining of CCDC88B, CD4 and CD68 in colon tissue sections from patients with CD, UC, or NL controls (CCDC88B, red; nuclei blue staining with Hoechst). Isotype control staining for each section is shown. Scale bars, 100 µm and 10 µm
