<i>FADS2</i> and <i>ELOVL6</i> mutation frequencies in Japanese Crohn's disease patients

Abstract: Crohn's disease (CD) development is thought to involve genetic factors related to immune response as well as environmental factors, such as intestinal bacteria and diet, though no clear cause has yet been identified. In our previous study, we found that the concentrations of linoleic acid, stearic acid, and metabolites in erythrocytes differed between CD patients and healthy subjects. These factors related to lipid metabolism are controlled by Δ6 desaturase (fatty acid desaturase 2, FADS2) and elongase 6 (ELOV… Show more

“…Among these genes, Cxcl2 as a gene with known involvement in the immune response exhibited the greatest up-regulation ( 35 ). Fads2 , a gene reported to be mutation-prone in IBD patients, showed the greatest downregulation in our study ( 40 ).…”

“…Only some gene sequencing revealed differences in the ELOVL gene between IBD patients and healthy individuals. Genetic sequencing of two CD patients in Japan revealed variations in ELOVL6 ( 178 ), and gene analysis of immune cells from UC patients demonstrated significant upregulation of ELOVL5 ( 179 ). Furthermore, ELOVL7 gene regions were identified as possible novel loci associated with adalimumab response in CD patients ( 180 ).…”

“…Dysregulated lipid metabolism and altered production of pro-inflammatory lipid mediators have been implicated in IBD pathogenesis. ELOVLs are involved in the synthesis of inflammatory lipid mediators, such as leukotrienes and prostaglandins, which contribute to the inflammatory process in IBD [40].…”
