Changes in the composition of mucins in jejunal goblet cells were investigated histochemically after a single intraperitoneal injection of methotrexate in rats (40 mg methotrexate/kg body weight). At 48 h after injection of methotrexate, when mitotic activity in the crypts approximates to zero, an
OBJECTIVE
O-glycans exhibiting terminal α1,4-linked N-acetylglucosamine (αGlcNAc) are attached to MUC6 in gastric gland mucins and serve as a tumor suppressor for gastric adenocarcinoma. Gastric atrophy is associated with risk for gastric cancer. However, the significance of αGlcNAc expression in
A human tracheobronchial lambda gt 11 cDNA library was screened using antiserum prepared against the deglycosylated protein backbone of human tracheobronchial mucins. Two cDNAs, designated JER 28 and 57, obtained from this immunoscreening, were used to isolate two other cDNA clones, JUL 7 and JUL
BACKGROUND
We aimed to study the effects of intra-articular injection of jellyfish mucin (qniumucin) on articular cartilage degeneration in a model of osteoarthritis (OA) created in rabbit knees by resection of the anterior cruciate ligament. Qniumucin was extracted from Aurelia aurita (moon
Neutral mucins in duodeno-jejunal biopsies of coeliac infants were studied. Subtotal villous atrophy was observed in 22 untreated patients whereas 18 patients, after a gluten-free diet for twelve months, had an histologic pattern of partial villous atrophy. The results showed a different
A 85-year-old woman with a mucin-producing pancreatic cancer is reported. The patient, who had been diabetic for 2 years, was admitted in March of 1984 to our hospital because of a fever and cough. On admission, a hard tumor was found on the right hypochondric region. Ultrasonogram and computed
A patient with a mucin-producing carcinoma of the breast died after three weeks of progressive neurologic deterioration. At autopsy, numerous small hemorrhagic cerebral infarcts of varying ages were found. The infarcts were primarily located in arterial boundary zones of cerebral and cerebellar
Abundant inflammatory cells infiltrate in the advancing front of the cholesteatoma perimatrix towards the middle ear mucosa. However, the cause of inflammation is not yet clear. The middle ear mucosa is often embedded in the cholesteatoma perimatrix. We hypothesized that the embedded mucosa is the
A mucin coat is deposited on rabbit embryos during passage through the oviduct; rabbit blastocysts cultured from the 1-cell stage in vitro have no mucin coat. When cultured blastocysts are transferred to recipients, the lack of mucin coat might account in part for subsequent failure of pregnancy. We
OBJECTIVE
Gastric carcinomas have been divided into differentiated (intestinal) and undifferentiated (diffuse) types. Recently, classification studies based on mucin expression have revealed that some differentiated-type carcinomas are of a gastric phenotype. In this study, we investigated the
Approximately 1 billion people worldwide suffer from zinc deficiency, with severe consequences for their well-being, such as critically impaired intestinal health. In addition to an extreme degeneration of the intestinal epithelium, the intestinal mucus is seriously disturbed in zinc-deficient (ZD)
We present an autopsy case of an 83-year-old Japanese man with a mucin-producing adenocarcinoma accompanied by pancreatolithiasis in the head of the pancreas. He suffered from obstructive jaundice and died of disseminated intravascular coagulation. He did not normally drink alcohol and had no
Mucin-producing pancreatic cancers (MPPC), which include mucinous adenocarcinoma, papillary adenocarcinoma and cystadenocarcinoma, are radiographically characterized by diffuse or localized dilatation of the main pancreatic duct due to excessive mucin production. Therefore, MPPC are occasionally
We describe 10 uterine leiomyomas with hydropic changes that created problems in differential diagnosis. The patients ranged in age from 41 to 51 years (mean, 45 years). Their presenting symptoms did not differ from those of patients with typical uterine leiomyomas. The follow-up, available for
Cystic neoplasms of the pancreas are rare and often mistaken for pseudocyst by imaging studies and macroscopic examination. We describe an unusual tumor of the pancreas composed of a mural nodule of anaplastic carcinoma arising from a huge ductal adenocarcinoma undergoing cystic degeneration. The
