Gene Expression and Thiopurine Metabolite Profiling in Inflammatory Bowel Disease – Novel Clues to Drug Targets and Disease Mechanisms?

Gene expression and thiopurine metabolite profiling in inflammatory bowel disease – novel clues to drug targets and disease mechanisms?

PLoS One. 2013; 8(2): e56989
Haglund S, Almer S, Peterson C, Söderman J

Thiopurines are effective to induce and maintain remission in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The methyl thioinosine monophosphate (meTIMP)/6-thioguanine nucleotide (6-TGN) concentration ratio has been associated with drug efficacy. Here we explored the molecular basis of differences in metabolite profiles and in relation to disease activity.Transcriptional profiles in blood samples from an exploratory IBD-patient cohort (n?=?21) with a normal thiopurine S-methyltransferase phenotype and meTIMP/6-TGN ratios >20, 10.0-14.0 and ?4, respectively, were assessed… Continue reading
