OBJECTIVE
To study the expression of T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain 3 (Tim-3) on peripheral blood immunocytes, and the relationship between Tim-3 and the systemic inflammatory response or brain injury in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).
METHODS
According to the volume of
OBJECTIVE
Mucin expression in normal nasosinus mucosa is upregulated in inflammatory conditions. However, as the first nine mucin genes are expressed, and as more mucins are expected to be expressed in nasosinus mucosa, the range and pattern of variations in mucin expression in nasosinus mucosa
We have described a novel macrophage-derived mucin secretagogue (MMS-68) that mediates mucin secretion in colon cancer cell lines and explants of normal and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) mucosa. We compared MMS-68 induced mucin release with other known intestinal mucin secretagogues in normal
The mucin and gland content of 26 rectal biopsy specimens--five normal specimens, 10 from patients with ulcerative colitis, and 11 from patients with Crohn's disease--were measured using a Quantimet image analyser. There was significantly less mucin in the groups with ulcerative colitis compared
OBJECTIVE
To review the importance of mucin on a molecular level in the understanding of the pathophysiology of otitis media and to present new data demonstrating differential up-regulation of specific mucin genes during inflammation of middle ear epithelium.
METHODS
Primary chinchilla middle ear
Whole-gut lavage fluid, collected by administering an electrolyte lavage solution orally, was found to be an excellent and easily collectable source of abundant mucin. Furthermore, the biochemical features of the mucin from patients with ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease were investigated. The
Intestinal mucus protects the underlying epithelium against adhesion and invasion by microbial pathogens and their products. In inflamed colonic mucosa there are both histochemical and biochemical changes in the major organic constituent of mucus, goblet cell-derived mucin. To determine if these
Mucin is a high molecular weight glycoprotein that plays an important role in protecting the gallbladder epithelium from the detergent effect of bile. However, it also participates in gallstone formation. There is little information about a possible relationship between gallbladder inflammation and
BACKGROUND
A novel 68-kilodalton macrophage-derived protein (MMS-68) stimulating mucin release from respiratory epithelial cells has previously been described. In this study, the effect of MMS-68 on mucin release from intestinal epithelial cells was determined.
METHODS
Colonic epithelial cells
The pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and TNF-alpha have been implicated in the pathogenesis of otitis media with effusion (OME). A disease where goblet cells proliferate in a modified respiratory epithelium, leading to the accumulation of a mucin-rich effusion in the middle ear cleft. The MUC5AC and
We experienced a case of mucin-producing cholangiocarcinoma with inflammatory wall thickening for 5 months. A 46-year-old man who had a stomach punch ulcer, was found to have a cyst by chance on CT. After 5 months, the diameter of the cyst on CT had decreased, the wall thickness increased and the
BACKGROUND
Adaptive colonic phenotypic change of the ileal mucosa is a feature of the ileoanal reservoir (IAR) with time, as described by mucin glycoprotein and histological analysis. Mucin gene expression is altered in colorectal neoplasia and inflammatory bowel disease but little is known of its
The incidence of Helicobacter pylori infection and effects of H. pylori colonization on mucin content and mucosal inflammation of the antral mucosa were studied quantitatively in 55 Japanese children with suspected gastritis and peptic ulcers (aged 6-16 years, mean 12.3 years). H. pylori was
The Muc-1 oncoprotein is a tumor-associated mucin often overexpressed in pancreatic cancer. We report that knockout of Muc-1 reduced the degree of pancreatic inflammation that resulted from infection with Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) in a mouse model. CVB3-infected Muc-1-deficient (Muc-1KO)
UNASSIGNED
Excess mucus production is an important pathophysiological feature of chronic inflammatory airway diseases. Effective therapies are currently lacking. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of curcumin (CUR) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced mucus secretion and inflammation,
