The Secretion of Gastric Mucin
The protective and lubricative r6le of mucus in the gastro-intestinal tract has been reported and studied by many investigators (Claude Bernard (4), Schiff (18), de Klug (12), Whitlow (19), Elliott (7), Pavlov (16), Berg and Jobling (3), Leriche (14), and Bucher (6)). An absolute or relative deficiency of gastric mucus has been frequently suggested as a possible etiologic factor in gastro-duode...
متن کاملIonic mechanism of forskolin-induced liquid secretion by porcine bronchi.
cAMP-elevating agents such as forskolin and vasoactive intestinal peptide induce liquid secretion by tracheobronchial submucosal glands. This pathway is thought to be CFTR dependent and thus defective in cystic fibrosis; however, the ionic mechanism that drives this secretion process is incompletely understood. To better define this mechanism, we studied the effects of ion transport inhibitors ...
متن کاملCYCLIC NUCLEOTIDES CONTROL DIFFERENTIATION OF HUMAN MONOCYTES INTO EITHER HIGHLY ACCESSORY CELLS OR MACROPHAGES
Human peripheral blood monocytes have been found to undergo a transitory state of high accessory activity before they fully become macrophages. Time kinetics were done to follow this accessory potential. Studying the regulation of accessory activity, we have found that monocyte derived accessory cells (m-AC) pass through two phases of development, both of which are adversely controlled by ...
متن کاملMucin Secretion Induced by Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles
Nanoparticle (NP) exposure has been closely associated with the exacerbation and pathophysiology of many respiratory diseases such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and asthma. Mucus hypersecretion and accumulation in the airway are major clinical manifestations commonly found in these diseases. Among a broad spectrum of NPs, titanium dioxide (TiO(2)), one of the PM10 components, ...
متن کاملRegulated Mucin Secretion from Airway Epithelial Cells
Secretory epithelial cells of the proximal airways synthesize and secrete gel-forming polymeric mucins. The secreted mucins adsorb water to form mucus that is propelled by neighboring ciliated cells, providing a mobile barrier which removes inhaled particles and pathogens from the lungs. Several features of the intracellular trafficking of mucins make the airway secretory cell an interesting co...
