Sensitivity of Human Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma Subtypes to Chemotherapeutics and Molecular Targeted Agents: A Study on Primary Cell Cultures. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 We investigated the sensitivity of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (IHCCA) subtypes to chemotherapeutics and molecular targeted agents. Primary cultures of mucin- and mixed-IHCCA were prepared from surgical specimens (N.

Mucin 16, the dimerization copycat of mucin 1?
The FASEB Journal, 2021 Mucin 1 (MUC1), a transmembrane mucin that serves a protective role by inhibiting extracellular pathogens from entering epithelial cells is also implicated in forming cancerous cells through dimer formation. Upon expression and localization in the membrane, MUC1 proteins form cysteine‐dependent homodimers through the juxtamembrane domain CQC motif. The

Smoking-associated increase in mucins 1 and 4 in human airways [PDF]
Respiratory Research, 2020 Abstract Rationale Smoking-related chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with dysregulated production of mucus. Mucins (MUC) are important both for mucus secretion and epithelial defense. We have examined the distribution of MUC1 and MUC4 in the airway epithelial cells of never-smokers and smokers ...

Cells, 2022 Mucin 1 is a transmembrane glycoprotein which overexpresses cancer-specific epitopes (MUC1-CE) on pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cells. As PDAC is a low survival and highly aggressive malignancy, developing radioimmunoconjugates capable of ...

Mucin-1 and its relation to grade, stage and survival in ovarian carcinoma patients
BMC Cancer, 2012 Background Mucin-1 is known to be over-expressed by various human carcinomas and is shed into the circulation where it can be detected in patient’s serum by specific anti-Mucin-1 antibodies, such as the tumour marker assays CA 15–3 and CA 27.29.
