    Autoantibodies against integrin αVβ6 are strongly associated with ulcerative colitis and present in various liver diseases.

  • 2

    Anti-αVβ6 was found in 91% of ulcerative colitis patients and 73% of those with PSC-IBD.

  • 3

    Integrin αVβ6 is selectively expressed in disease-associated epithelia of both bile ducts and colon.

  • 4

    Anti-αVβ6 levels correlate moderately with intestinal disease activity in PSC-IBD but weakly with biliary disease.

  • 5

    The study aims to explore the presence and clinical relevance of anti-αVβ6 in PSC and its association with IBD.
