Dynamic interactions of a conserved enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli adhesin with intestinal mucins govern epithelium engagement and toxin delivery [PDF]
, 2016 At present, there is no vaccine for enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC), an important cause of diarrheal illness. Nevertheless, recent microbial pathogenesis studies have identified a number of molecules produced by ETEC that contribute to its ...

Mucin 1 Gene (MUC1) and Gastric-Cancer Susceptibility [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2014 Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the major malignant diseases worldwide, especially in Asia. It is classified into intestinal and diffuse types. While the intestinal-type GC (IGC) is almost certainly caused by Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection, its role in the diffuse-type GC (DGC) appears limited.

Muc5ac mucin expression during rat skin development [PDF]
, 2015 Some mucin genes have been detected during human embryonic and fetal organ development; however, little is known about mucin expression in epidermal development, neither in humans nor in other species. The present research was developed to explore Muc5ac

Lipids in Health and Disease, 2022 Background Hepatic caveolin-1 (CAV1) is reduced in cholesterol gallstone disease (CGD). Mice with CAV1 deficiency were prone to develop CGD. However, it remains unknown whether restored hepatic CAV1 expression prevents the development of CGD.

Mouse mucin 1 (MUC1) defined by monoclonal antibodies [PDF]
International Journal of Cancer, 1998 Mucins are highly expressed in many different human cancers and numerous murine monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) to human mucins, particularly Mucin 1 (MUC1), have been produced. However, no such antibodies to murine mucin 1 (muc1) have been described and we now describe 6 different antibodies produced to murine muc1 and to human MUC1 cytoplasmic tail ...

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 glycosylation and sulphation in airway epithelial cells is not influenced by cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator expression [PDF]
, 2005 Abnormalities in mucus properties and clearance make a major contribution to the pathology of cystic fibrosis (CF). Our aim was to test the hypothesis that the defects in CF mucus are a direct result of mutations in the CF transmembrane conductance ...
