Induction of Colonic Aberrant Crypts in Mice by Feeding Apparent N-Nitroso Compounds Derived From Hot Dogs [PDF]
Nitrite-preserved meats (e.g., hot dogs) may help cause colon cancer because they contain N-nitroso compounds. We tested whether purified hot-dog-derived total apparent N-nitroso compounds (ANC) could induce colonic aberrant crypts, which are putative ...

Probing Aberrantly Glycosylated Mucin 1 in Breast Cancer Extracellular Vesicles
Aberrantly glycosylated mucin 1 is a critical prognostic biomarker in breast epithelial cancers. Hypoglycosylated mucin 1 coats the surface of the cancer cells, where O-glycans are predominantly linked via an N-acetylgalactosamine moiety (GalNAc). Cancer

A Monoclonal Antibody Against the Oncogenic Mucin 1 Cytoplasmic Domain [PDF]
Mucin 1 (MUC1) is a heterodimeric protein that is aberrantly overexpressed in diverse human carcinomas and certain hematologic malignancies. The transmembrane MUC1-C subunit confers tumorigenicity and is a target for anti-cancer drug development. In this regard, the MUC1-C cytoplasmic domain interacts with multiple effectors that have been linked to ...

Regulation of mucin 1 expression and its relationship with oral diseases
The aim of this study is to describe the polymorphic mucin 1 (MUC1), and to provide an overview of the known complex and multiple functions of MUC1 in normal oral mucosa and oral mucosal lesions in compromised situations as well as exploring the challenges associated with the heterogeneous nature of MUC1.

Immunobiology of human mucin 1 in a preclinical ovarian tumor model [PDF]
Epithelial ovarian cancer is an aggressive malignancy, with a low 5-year median survival. Continued improvement on the development of more effective therapies depends in part on the availability of adequate preclinical models for in vivo testing of treatment efficacy.

Mucin-1 is expressed on dendritic cells, both in vitro and in vivo [PDF]
Dendritic cells (DCs) are the best professional antigen-presenting cells to stimulate cytotoxic as well as T helper cells and are therefore appropriate candidates for establishing immunotherapy. The concept of our vaccination program is to introduce the tumor-associated antigen mucin-1 (MUC1) into DCs.

The inhibition of HIV-1 activity by crude mucus and purified mucin (mucous glycoproteins) from saliva, breast milk and the cervical tract of normal subjects, HIV positive individuals and patients with HIV-AIDS [PDF]
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 140-161).Human saliva, breast milk and cervical secretions contain several non-immunological components including mucins (mucous glycoproteins), which protect the gastrointesinal and female reproductive tracts ...

Mucin glycan foraging in the human gut microbiome
The availability of host and dietary carbohydrates in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract plays a key role in shaping the structure-function of the microbiota. In particular, some gut bacteria have the ability to forage on glycans provided by the mucus layer
