Expression patterns of inflammatory mediators in different locations of the intestine in the same patient. Selected PCs with discriminatory powers are shown as scatterplots, with 12 biopsy samples from 6 patients with UC, which are represented with triangles, and 8 biopsy samples from 4 patients with CD represented with squares. Same color indicates the same patient. A, Scatterplot of PC1 and PC2 obtained using 18 inflammatory mediators. B, Scatterplot of PC2 and PC3 obtained using 18 inflammatory mediators. Even in the colorectum and the ileum, where the mucosal background seems to be different, the expression of inflammatory mediators was found to be similar. UC ulcerative colitis, CD Crohn’s disease, PC principal component
