Objective:To discuss the role of Fas/FasL-mediated colonic epithelial apoptosis in the pathogenesis of ulcerative colitis(UC).Methods:Expression of Fas
FasL and M30(a new epithelium apoptosis marker) antigen on colonic mucosa of 35 patients with UC and 15 control populations were detected by IHC.Each marker was analyzed by image analysis system.Co-expression of Fas and M30 was observed through serial sections and double staining IHC.Results:The expression of Fas
FasL as well as M30 in UC increased considerably compared with controls (P<0.01).There was correlation between expressions of Fas and M30 in UC.Fas and M30 antigen coexpression was found in sequence slices and double staining IHC slices.Conclusion:Fas/FasL-mediated colonic epithelial apoptosis may be one of major causes which lead to damage of the epithelial barrier.
