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

Mucin-1-Antibody-Conjugated Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles for Selective Breast Cancer Detection in a Mucin-1 Transgenic Murine Mouse Model [PDF]

Journal of Biomedical Nanotechnology, 2016
Mucin-1 (MUC1), a transmembrane glycoprotein is aberrantly expressed on ~90% of breast cancer and is an excellent target for nanoparticulate targeted imaging. In this study, the development of a dye-doped NIR emitting mesoporous silica nanoparticles platform conjugated to tumor-specific MUC1 antibody (ab-tMUC1-NIR-MSN) for in vivo optical detection of ...

Mucin 1 deficiency mediates corticosteroid insensitivity in asthma

Allergy, 2018
AbstractBackgroundThe loss of corticosteroid efficacy is an important issue in severe asthma management and may lead to poor asthma control and deterioration of airflow. Recent data indicate that Mucin 1 (MUC1) membrane mucin can mediate corticosteroid efficacy in chronic rhinosinusitis, but the role of MUC1 in uncontrolled severe asthma is unknown ...

Pro-Resolving Mediator Annexin A1 Regulates Intracellular Ca2+ and Mucin Secretion in Cultured Goblet Cells Suggesting a New Use in Inflammatory Conjunctival Diseases

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
The amount of mucin secreted by conjunctival goblet cells is regulated to ensure the optimal level for protection of the ocular surface. Under physiological conditions lipid specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPM) are essential for maintaining tissue ...

MUC1 aptamer-tethered H40-TEPA-PEG nanoconjugates for targeted siRNA-delivery and gene silencing in breast cancer cells

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology
With a prevalence of 12.5% of all new cancer cases annually, breast cancer stands as the most common form of cancer worldwide. The current therapies utilized for breast cancer are constrained and ineffective in addressing the condition.
