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.

Cornu aspersum mucin attenuates indomethacins-induced gastric ulcers in mice via alleviating oxidative stress and inflammation

Heliyon, 2023
In the past three decades, a significant progress has been made in the prevention and treatment of gastric ulcers. The incidence of the disease has decreased, but gastric ulcer is still a medical problem.

Arabinoxylans, inulin and Lactobacillus reuteri 1063 repress the adherent-invasive Escherichia coli from mucus in a musosa-comprising gut model [PDF]

, 2016
The microbiota that colonises the intestinal mucus may particularly affect human health given its proximity to the epithelium. For instance, the presence of the adherent-invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC) in this mucosal microbiota has been correlated with

Serum Krebs von den Lungen-6 before treatment predicts the prognosis of lung cancer in Asian populations: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Frontiers in Immunology
BackgroundUp until now, no clear consensus has been reached on the role of serum Krebs von den Lungen-6 (KL-6) levels in predicting survival in patients with lung cancer. This meta-analysis aimed to assess the prognostic value of serum KL-6 levels before

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 ...

Carbohydrate receptor-mediated gene transfer to human T leukaemic cells [PDF]

, 1994
The mucin-type carbohydrate Tn cryptantigen (GalNAcα1-O-Ser/Thr, where GalNAc is N-acetyl-D-galactosamine) is expressed in many carcinomas, in haemopoietic disorders including the Tn syndrome, and on human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) coat glycoproteins,

Beef meat promotion of dimethylhydrazine-induced colorectal carcinogenesis biomarkers is suppressed by dietary calcium [PDF]

, 2007
Red meat consumption is associated with increased risk of colorectal cancer. We have previously shown that haemin, Hb and red meat promote carcinogen-induced preneoplastic lesions: aberrant crypt foci (ACF) and mucin-depleted foci (MDF) in rats.
