The human multidrug resistance 1 (MDR1) gene product P-glycoprotein is highly expressed in intestinal epithelial cells, where it constitutes a barrier against xenobiotics. The finding that mdr1a knockout mice develop a form of colitis that is similar to ulcerative colitis, which can be prevented by antibiotics, indicates a barrier function for P-glycoprotein against the invasion of bacteria or toxins. Because the MDR1 single nucleotide polymorphism C3435T is associated with lower intestinal P-glycoprotein expression, we tested whether this polymorphism predisposes to development of ulcerative colitis.
