Project description:Bacteriophage therapy against pathological Klebsiella pneumoniae that determine the clinical course of primary sclerosing cholangitis
Project description:Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), and inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), including Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), are heterogeneous chronic autoimmune diseases that may share underlying pathogenic mechanisms. Herein, we compared simultaneously analyzed blood transcriptomes from patients with PBC, PSC, and IBD.

Project description:Dietary intervention on Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis
Project description:This study is being done to:
To attempt to increase the detection of precancerous colon tissue in patients with chronic ulcerative colitis and primary sclerosing cholangitis;
To determine if an investigational scope that can look at the lining of the colon in different ways will help the doctor identify abnormal tissue in patients with chronic ulcerative colitis and concurrent primary sclerosing cholangitis; and
To determine if this investigational scope can accurately detect precancerous or cancerous tissue in patients with chronic ulcerative colitis that are known to have had cancerous or precancerous tissue in the past.
Project description:Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is characterized by chronic inflammation and progressive fibrosis of the biliary tree. The bile acid receptor TGR5 is found on biliary epithelial cells (BECs), where it promotes secretion, proliferation and tight junction integrity. Thus, we speculated that changes in TGR5 expression in BECs may contribute to PSC pathogenesis.
Project description:To qualitatively and quantitatively analyze enterohepatically-circulated molecules using targeted acyl carnitines concentrations of peripheral blood collected from primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) patients compared to normal and diseased controls. There are three groups of patients. (1) Normal donor controls (ND), (2) Patients with Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC), and (3) Disease Controls (DC) which are patients with liver disease other than PSC.
