Differences between patients with UC and normal subjects were then determined.RESULTS: Mononuclear cells of the peripheral blood of normal subjects and UC patients with were stimulated with no drugs(control), phytohemagglutinin(PHA), thapsigargin(TG), or both PHA and TG. XBP1 s in patients with UC exhibited splicing, which was greater with co-stimulation than single stimulation. Costimulation increased the expression level of IL-2, IFN-γ, and IL-17α.CONCLUSION: The T lymphocytes of both normal subjects and patients with UC responded to ERS by activating the XBP1s-mediated signalling pathway, upregulating the expression of inflammatory cytokines, and increasing the occurrence of inflammation. The mononuclear cells in the peripheral blood of patients with UC were more sensitive to ERS than those in the peripheral blood of normal subjects.展开更多
