摘要: NKX2-3 SNP rs11190140 is associated with inflammatory bowel disease (180). The T allele over-transmitted in IBD and the C represents a potential CpG methylation site. We hypothesize that genetic variation and/or of may play role gene expression by affecting transcription factor binding. studied 233 cases 250 unrelated healthy individuals from an population central Pennsylvania performed genotype analyses status analysis using PCR-based RFLP. For binding, nuclear extracts human B cells were incubated biotin-labeled oligonucleotide sequences promoter region containing T, non-methylated or methylated at rs11190140, followed biotin pull-down Western blot for factors SP1, NFAT1, NF-kappa B, ETS-1. In case-control analysis, was significantly (OR=0.503, 95 CI = 0.330-0.764, p<0.001). Methylation revealed subject to modification DNA methylation. binding assay indicated distinct differential NFAT1 sequence, higher those than T. rs1190140 confirmed ChIP assay. speculate regulate have pathogenesis.
