Mucin gene expression in intestinal epithelial cells in Crohn's disease.
BACKGROUND Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic relapsing inflammatory bowel disease of unknown origin. It is characterised by chronic mucosal ulcerations which affect any part of the intestine but most commonly are found in the ileum and proximal colon. AIMS Studies were undertaken to provide information regarding cell specific expression of mucin genes in the ileum of patients with CD. PATIE...
متن کاملImmediate-early gene expression in EGF-stimulated intestinal epithelial cells.
The mammalian small intestinal epithelium is a continuously renewable population of cells which arise from a proliferative zone of undifferentiated stem cells within the crypts. Epidermal growth factor (EGF) is thought to play a role in the maintenance and proliferative response of the intestinal epithelium. In order to investigate the early changes in intestinal gene expression which occur in ...
متن کاملExtremely low frequency-pulsed electromagnetic fields affect proangiogenic-related gene expression in retinal pigment epithelial cells
Objective(s): It is known that extremely low frequency-pulsed electromagnetic fields (ELF-PEMF) influence multiple cellular and molecular processes. Retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells have a significant part in the emergence and pathophysiology of several ocular disorders, such as neovascularization. This study assessed the impact of ELF-PEMF on the proangiogenic features of RPE cells. Mate...
متن کاملMucin gene expression and mucin content in the chicken intestinal goblet cells are affected by in ovo feeding of carbohydrates.
The protective mucus layer covers the entire surface of the gastrointestinal tract. The mucus layer also acts as a medium for molecule transport between the luminal contents and the enterocytes; therefore it has a major role in nutrient absorption. The main mucus layer component, mucin glycoproteins, is produced by mucous-secreting goblet cells. In chicken small intestine, functional developmen...
متن کاملFood-derived peptides stimulate mucin secretion and gene expression in intestinal cells.
In this study, the hypothesis that food-derived opioid peptides besides β-casomorphin 7 might modulate the production of mucin via a direct action on epithelial goblet cells was investigated in HT29-MTX cells used as a model of human colonic epithelium. Seven milk whey or casein peptides, a human milk peptide, and a wheat gluten-derived peptide with proved or probable ability to bind μ- or δ-op...
