Mucin 2 and occludin play a crucial role in preserving the intestinal mucosal integrity. However, the role for leucine mediating intestinal mucin 2 and occludin expression has little been investigated.

ABSTRACT The E3 ubiquitin ligase tripartite motif 27 (TRIM27) is a negative regulator of NF‐κB activation and the innate immune response, and TRIM27 deficiency significantly impairs dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)‐induced colitis. The function of TRIM27 in intestinal epithelial cells (IECs), the mechanism by which TRIM27 inhibits the NF‐κB pathway and its

Mucin adsorbed by E. coli can affect neutrophil activation in vitro
Bacteria colonizing human intestine adhere to the gut mucosa and avoid the innate immune system. We previously demonstrated that Escherichia coli isolates can adsorb mucin from a diluted solution in vitro.

The mechanism(s) by which cell-tethered mucins modulate infection by Influenza A viruses (IAVs) remains an open question. Mucins form both a protective barrier that can block virus binding and recruit IAVs to bind cells via the sialic ...

Amuc_1473 Links Gut Microbes to Skeletal Homeostasis and Counteracts Multifactorial Osteoporosis
Amuc_1473, a previously uncharacterized protein enriched in Akkermansia muciniphila‐derived extracellular vesicles, is identified as a gut–bone messenger that promotes osteogenesis and inhibits osteoclastogenesis by engaging transcriptional and translational regulators in bone cells.

The biochemical and molecular characterisation of respiratory mucins in TB
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 96-112).The role of the dominant respiratory mucins (MUC5AC and MUC5B) and MUC2 has been investigated in chronic airway diseases as it is the mucin glycoprotein that confers upon mucus its biological ...

Mucin and mucin glycans alter behaviorof mucosal pathogens
The majority of the microorganisms that colonize the human body, collectively the human microbiota, reside within the mucus layer. While mucus hydrates and lubricates host tissues, it also serves as a protective barrier. Mucus physically blocks pathogens

A thiol‐modified alginate hydrogel microsphere‐encapsulated enzyme‐probiotic biohybrid (AKK‐COD) system has been developed to address the spatiotemporal delivery and colonization challenges of small intestine‐targeted probiotic for lipid metabolism regulation. The system exerts sequential functions of intragastric protection, small intestinal adhesion,

Transmembrane Mucin-1 Facilitates Oral Microbial Colonization in Oral Cancer
Mucins are a family of heavily glycosylated proteins that form the main organic component of the oral mucosal barrier complex. Transmembrane mucin 1 (tMUC1) is anchored at the superficial epithelial surface to provide a protective function.
