Detection of Circulating Mammary Mucin (MUC1) and MUC1 Immune Complexes (MUC1-CIC) in Healthy Women [PDF]
There is convincing epidemiological evidence that multiparity provides protection against the development of breast cancer. In the present study we evaluated the levels of MUC1 and MUC1 circulating immune complexes (MUC1-CIC) in 135 serum samples obtained from healthy women.

Suppression of MUC1-Overexpressing Tumors by a Novel MUC1/CD3 Bispecific Antibody
Mucin1 (MUC1) is abnormally glycosylated and overexpressed in a variety of epithelial cancers and plays a critical role in tumor progression. MUC1 has received remark attention as an oncogenic molecule and is considered a valuable tumor target for immunotherapy, while many monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) targeting MUC1-positive cancers in clinical studies

Single domain based bispecific antibody, Muc1-Bi-1, and its humanized form, Muc1-Bi-2, induce potent cancer cell killing in muc1 positive tumor cells. [PDF]
Muc1 is one of the most studied tumor antigens. However, antibodies or antibody-toxin conjugates against Muc1 have not shown significant efficacy for tumors with Muc1 overexpression.

Local effects of regulatory T cells in MUC1 transgenic mice potentiate growth of MUC1 expressing tumor cells in vivo. [PDF]
MUC1 transgenic (MUC1.Tg) mice have widely been used as model recipients of cancer immunotherapy with MUC1. Although MUC1.Tg mice have previously been shown to be immunologically tolerant to MUC1, the involvement of regulatory T (Treg) cells in this ...

MUC1-ARF—A Novel MUC1 Protein That Resides in the Nucleus and Is Expressed by Alternate Reading Frame Translation of MUC1 mRNA [PDF]
Translation of mRNA in alternate reading frames (ARF) is a naturally occurring process heretofore underappreciated as a generator of protein diversity. The MUC1 gene encodes MUC1-TM, a signal-transducing trans-membrane protein highly expressed in human malignancies.

Expresión de mucinas y moléculas relacionadas en los carcinomas mucoepidermoides de glándulas salivales: implicaciones diagnósticas y pronósticas [PDF]
[spa] El carcinoma mucoepidermoide, es el tumor maligno más frecuente de glándulas salivales (GS). Tanto su expresión de mucinas, MUC1 y MUC4, como el número de copias del gen EGFR (receptor del Factor de Crecimiento Epidérmico) y la expresión de pERK1/2

A predicted two to tango interaction between MUC1 and SOX2: a unique opportunity to target cancer stem cells [PDF]
Objective: Cancer stem cell (CSC) genes are emerging as cancer therapeutic targets. MUC1 is a cell surface-associated glycoprotein that is aberrantly over‐expressed in >60% of human cancers including breast cancer.

The MUC1 extracellular domain subunit is found in nuclear speckles and associates with spliceosomes. [PDF]
MUC1 is a large transmembrane glycoprotein and oncogene expressed by epithelial cells and overexpressed and underglycosylated in cancer cells. The MUC1 cytoplasmic subunit (MUC1-C) can translocate to the nucleus and regulate gene expression.

Cell surface-associated anti-MUC1-derived signal peptide antibodies: implications for cancer diagnostics and therapy. [PDF]
The MUC1 tumor associated antigen is highly expressed on a range of tumors. Its broad distribution on primary tumors and metastases renders it an attractive target for immunotherapy. After synthesis MUC1 is cleaved, yielding a large soluble extracellular
