Background Ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn?s disease (CD) belong to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The etiology of IBD is still unknown. Therapy remains empiric or is used for the relief of specific symptoms. The erbB-1 oncogene coding epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is typed as a prognostic marker in several benign and malignant tissues. The aim of our study was to examine the erbB-1 expression in experimental surgically performed model of IBD in rats and to find out if there is any correlation between severity of the intestinal inflammation and altered level of erbB-1 expression. After inducing an experimental colitis samples were taken from different parts of the intestine in all studied groups of rats for histopathology. ErbB-1 mRNA expression was estimated by RT-PCR. PCR products were separated on a 1,5% TBE-agarose gel and visualized with ethidium bromide. The integrated optical density (IOD) of electrophoretically separated amplification products was measured using a video densitometer and Gel-Pro 3.0 software. Nonparametrical statistical test has been used throughout in analyzing the results. Relative erbB-1 expression was determined by comparing to cyclophiline expression. Results Microscopic changes were similar to those observed in IBD. ErbB-1 expression was significantly higher in inflamed tissues of the bowel ( P=0.04 for the transverse colon and P=0.027 for the cecum). Significantly higher erbB-1 expression in inflamed tissues of the bowel suggests that EGFR overexpression may play a role in the pathogenesis of IBD. Overexpression of erbB-1 correlates with the severity of inflammation in bowel tissues.

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) is member of a family of nuclear receptors that interacts with nuclear proteins acting as coactivators and corepressors. The colon is a major tissue which expresses PPARγin epithelial cells and, to a lesser degree, in macrophages and lymphocytes and plays a role in the regulation of intestinal inflammation. Indeed, both natural and synthetic PPARγligands have beneficial effects in different models of experimental colitis, with possible implication in the therapy of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This paper will specifically focus on potential role of PPARγin the predisposition and physiopathology of IBD and will analyze its possible role in medical therapy.
