Gene expression and thiopurine metabolite profiling in inflammatory bowel disease - novel clues to drug targets and disease mechanisms?
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Thiopurines are effective to induce and maintain remission in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The methyl thioinosine monophosphate (meTIMP)/6-thioguanine nucleotide (6-TGN) concentration ratio has been associated with drug efficacy. Here we explored the molecular basis of diff...
