Expression of AE2 and InsP3R3 mRNA in large intestines of the patients. Relative expression levels of anion exchange protein 2 (AE2) (a,c) and inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate-receptor (InsP3R3) (b,d) in ascending (a,b) and sigmoid colons (c,d) of controls (n = 10), PSC (n = 10), PSC + UC (n = 10), and UC (n = 10). The expression of all genes are normalized to an endogenous reference 18S rRNA and presented as a relative fold change to controls according to the comparative Ct method (2−ΔΔCt). Dots illustrate each patient and lines the mean plus interquartile range (IQR).Statistics: one-way ANOVA followed by Fisher’s PLSD test within the groups; *indicates p-value < 0.05, ** p-value p < 0.01, *** p-value < 0.001.
