Supplementary Material for: Different Genetic Expression Profiles of Oxidative Stress and Apoptosis-Related Genes in Crohn’s Disease

Background/Aims: Increased oxidative stress and decreased immune cell apoptosis have been reported to be important factors in the pathogenesis of Crohn’s disease (CD). Our aim was to characterize the genetic expression of molecules implicated in the regulation of oxidative stress and apoptosis in peripheral white mononuclear cells of 18 healthy volunteers (controls) and 20 patients at the onset of CD (active CD [aCD]): 10 who achieved remission (inactive CD [iCD]) and 10 who did not present a complete and deep response to treatment (aCD-T). Methods: mRNA expression was measured by the Agena MassARRAY quantitative gene expression analysis application. The genes analyzed were Fas-receptor (FA…
