CEBPG Exhibits Allele-Specific Expression in Human Bronchial Epithelial Cells
Inter-individual variation in CCAAT/enhancer binding protein gamma (CEBPG) transcript expression in normal human bronchial epithelial cells (NBEC) is associated with predisposition to lung cancer. We hypothesize that this inter-individual variation is in part explained by cis-acting genetic variation in CEBPG. To test this hypothesis we measured transcript expression derived from each parental ...
متن کاملInterleukin-8 gene expression in human bronchial epithelial cells.
The capacity of cells of the human bronchial epithelium to express the gene for interleukin-8 (IL-8) was evaluated in bronchial epithelium derived cell lines, HS-24 and BET-1A, using tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF) as a model inflammatory stimulus. As in other epithelium, TNF markedly increased the level of the 1.8-kilobase IL-8 mRNA transcripts in both bronchial epithelial cell lines. In HS-...
متن کاملSelective expression of RT6 superfamily in human bronchial epithelial cells.
RT6 proteins are glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-linked alloantigens that are localized to cytotoxic T lymphocytes and that have nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide glycohydrolase and adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-ribosyltransferase activities. In view of the importance of GPI-linked surface proteins in mediating interactions of cells with their milieu, and the varied functions of airway cells i...
متن کاملConnective tissue growth factor expression in human bronchial epithelial cells.
Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) is a cysteine-rich protein that promotes extracellular matrix deposition. CTGF is selectively induced by transforming growth factor beta and des-Arg kallidin in lung fibroblasts and increases steady-state mRNA levels of alpha type I collagen, 5alpha-integrin and fibronectin in fibroblasts. Bronchial epithelial cells have been proposed to functionally inter...
متن کاملChannel Expression and Function in Human Bronchial Epithelial Cells
The KCa3.1 K + channel has been proposed as a novel target for pulmonary diseases such as asthma and pulmonary fibrosis. It is expressed in epithelia but its expression and function in primary human bronchial epithelial cells (HBECs) has not been described. Due to its proposed roles in the regulation of cell proliferation, migration, and epithelial fluid secretion, inhibiting this channel might...
