Tissue GFAP levels in clinical biopsies. (A). Western blot analysis of tissue extracts from controls, inflamed UC (UC-I), non-inflamed UC (UC-N), inflamed CD (CD-I), non-inflamed CD (CD-N) and infectious colitis (IC) using anti-GFAP antibodies. (A) shows the densitometric analysis of GFAP expression in the colon tissues of the different clinical groups; the data are expressed as x-fold above control. * indicates a significant increase of GFAP in tissue samples of inflamed intestines compared with control (p < 0.05). ** indicates a significant reduction of GFAP in CD-N compared to control and UC-N (P < 0.05). (B) GDNF concentrations (pg/ml) in the colon biopsies of the different clinical groups. *Significantly different from control (P < 0.05). **Significantly different from UC-I and IC (P < 0.05)
