Bikunin, a serine protease inhibitor, is present on the cell boundary of epidermis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Bikunin, which is an inhibitor of serine proteases, is widely distributed in human tissues, including liver, kidney, and mucous membranes of the stomach and colon. The aim of this study was to clarify whether bikunin is expressed in human epidermis and its appendages. Immunoblot analysis using a

A novel aspartyl proteinase from apocrine epithelia and breast tumors.

GCDFP-15 (gross cystic disease fluid protein, 15 kDa) is a secretory marker of apocrine differentiation in breast carcinoma. In human breast cancer cell lines, gene expression is regulated by hormones, including androgens and prolactin. The protein is also known under different names in different

Prostate-specific antigen found in type I breast cyst fluids is a secretory product of the apocrine cells lining breast gross cysts.

Only registered users can translate articles

Prostate-specific antigen (PSA), a serine protease thought to be exclusively produced by the prostate epithelial cells, has been recently found in human breast tissues and fluids. PSA in breast cancer is associated with the presence of steroid-hormones and receptors, and its presence seems to be a

Prolactin-induced protein in breast cancer.

Only registered users can translate articles

Prolactin-induced protein (PIP) is a 17-kDa single polypeptide chain that is secreted by a number of normal apocrine cells, such as milk, saliva, and seminal fluid. PIP is widely expressed in breast cancer and is commonly used as a diagnostic biomarker for the histopathological diagnosis of this

Characterization of cytoplasmic secretory granules (PSG), in prostatic epithelium and their transformation-induced loss in dysplasia and adenocarcinoma.

Only registered users can translate articles

Cytoplasmic clarity is a histological feature of normal prostatic secretory cells, but in this study, tissue fixation in strong (>2.5%) glutaraldehyde dramatically altered cytological staining. Secretory cytoplasm appeared red and granular on routine stains because of myriad intensely staining

Characterization and distribution in normal and tumoral human tissues of breast cancer-associated antigen defined by monoclonal antibody 7B10.

Only registered users can translate articles

Monoclonal antibody 7B10, raised against the human breast cancer cell line T47D, identifies an antigen found in human breast carcinomas and in normal breast. Western blot and immunoprecipitation studies detected a Mr 76,000 antigen in cytosol, cell membrane, and cell culture supernatants of T47D

Quantification of prostate-specific antigen immunoreactivity in human breast cyst fluids.

Only registered users can translate articles

The frequency of gross cystic breast disease in premenopausal women and its possible association with increased breast cancer risk emphasises the importance of investigations relating to breast cyst fluid composition. In order to contribute to a better analysis of this medium, we have measured the

Two novel mutations of the nicastrin gene in Chinese patients with acne inversa.

Only registered users can translate articles

Acne inversa (AI, OMIM 142690), also called hidradenitis suppurativa, is a chronic, inflammatory, recurrent and debilitating skin follicular disease that usually presents after puberty with painful, deep-seated, inflamed lesions in the apocrine gland-bearing areas of the body, most commonly the

Differential distribution of soluble and complexed forms of prostate-specific antigen in cyst fluids of women with gross cystic breast disease.

Only registered users can translate articles

Gross cystic breast disease (GCBD) is the most common benign disease of the human female breast, and patients with GCBD have an increased risk of breast cancer. The aim of this study was to evaluate the distribution inside apocrine cells and in breast cyst fluids aspirated from gross cysts of

Alpha 1-antichymotrypsin complexes in human breast cyst fluids.

Only registered users can translate articles

Alpha 1-antichymotrypsin, a serum protease inhibitor, was found in 72 breast cyst fluids aspirated from women affected by gross cystic breast disease. When fractionated by gel chromatography, the presence of protein complexes or aggregates was demonstrated. A different distribution of the alpha

Breast cyst fluid plasmin activity and its effect on TGF-beta2 activation.

Only registered users can translate articles

There are two types of breast cyst and women with apocrine breast cyst may have a higher risk of developing breast cancer than cyst lined by flattened epithelium. Transforming growth factor-beta's growth inhibitory effect on epithelial cells suggests a potential protective role in breast cancer. The

Impaired Notch-MKP-1 signalling in hidradenitis suppurativa: an approach to pathogenesis by evidence from translational biology.

Only registered users can translate articles

Recent findings in familial hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) demonstrated loss-of-function mutations of components of the γ-secretase (GS) complex leading to decreased protease cleaving activity, which may compromise canonical Notch signalling. Appropriate Notch signalling is of pivotal importance for
