Expression of ERβ and its isoform in sigmoid colon of female patients with slow transit constipation
Objective To investigate the expressions of ERβ protein and ERβ isoform mRNA in sigmoid colon of female slow transit constipation patients. Methods RT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect the expression of ERβ protein and ERβ isoform mRNA of 20 patients with STC and 20 age-matched controls. Results ERβ protein and ERβ
1
ERβ
2
and ERβ
5
mRNA were detected in the two groups lower in STC group than that in control group (P0.01),but ERβ
3
and ERβ
4
mRNA were not detectable. Conclusion ERβ is involved in genesis of STC.
Expression of DNA methyltransferase is significantly increased in the colonic mucosa of patients with slow transit constipation
