Intestinal goblet cell autoantibody associated enteropathy.
This report describes a case of refractory enteropathy with circulating intestinal goblet cell autoantibodies (IGA). A 19 year old man with hyperthyroidism had suffered from protracted diarrhoea for nearly 10 years. Histological examination showed evidence of collagenous enterocolitis. The diarrhoea did not improve despite fasting under total parenteral nutrition. An immunofluorescence assay de...
متن کاملRELMbeta/FIZZ2 is a goblet cell-specific immune-effector molecule in the gastrointestinal tract.
Gastrointestinal (GI) nematode infections are an important public health and economic concern. Experimental studies have shown that resistance to infection requires CD4(+) T helper type 2 (Th2) cytokine responses characterized by the production of IL-4 and IL-13. However, despite >30 years of research, it is unclear how the immune system mediates the expulsion of worms from the GI tract. Here, ...
متن کاملStat6 dependent goblet cell hyperplasia during intestinal nematode infection.
To identify the role of signal transducer and activator of transcription factor 6 (Stat6) in the development of intestinal goblet cell hyperplasia during nematode infection, we compared the number of goblet cells in Stat6 deficient (Stat6 -/-) mice with that generated in wild-type (Stat6 +/+) mice in Trichinella spiralis infection. The number of goblet cells significantly increased with infecti...
متن کاملGoblet cell loss abrogates ocular surface immune tolerance.
Intestinal epithelial cells condition tolerogenic properties in DCs. Aqueous-deficient dry eye is associated with goblet cell (GC) loss and increased IFN-γ expression in the conjunctiva. We hypothesized that loss of GCs reduces tolerance-inducing properties of antigen presenting cells (APCs) in the conjunctiva and draining nodes. Mice lacking the SAM pointed domain containing ETS transcription ...
متن کاملGoblet Cell Carcinoid
Goblet cell carcinoid (GCC) is a unique type of mixed endocrine-exocrine neoplasm, almost exclusively seen in the appendix. Historically, it has been variably termed as adenocarcinoid, mucinous carcinoid, microglandular carcinoma, amphicrine neoplasm, mucin-producing neuroendocrine tumor or carcinoma, and crypt cell carcinoma. GCC is the preferred term in the current literature, but this remain...
