Binding to Mucosal Epithelial Cells Calprotectin Expression Inhibits Bacterial

Expression of Cytokeratin 19 in the epithelial cell of Azo-exposed buccal mucosa

    Background: Azo is a synthetic dye used in batik industries. It can be toxic to the tissue when exposed via inhalation, swallowing, or direct contact. Expression of cytokeratin will change in hyperplastic and cancer of the oral mucosa. Expression of Cytokeratin 8, 18, 19 is strong in the epithelial cells that undergo excessive hyperproliferation and oral mucosal changes in le...

Possible Involvement of a Specific Cell Surface Receptor for Calprotectin-Induced Apoptosis in Colon Adenocarcinoma and Carcinam Cell Lines (SW742 and HT29/219)

Calprotectin, a calcium-bound protein complex, is abundant in the cytosol of neutrophils. It has been reported that this protein has an apoptotic activity in tumor cells. Since calprotectin increases in colorectal cancer, this study was conducted to investigate, for the first time, the cytotoxicity/apoptotic effect of calprotectin on HT29/219 and SW742 colon carcinoma and adenocarcinoma cell li...

Cloning and evaluation of gene expression and purification of gene encoding recombinant protein containing binding subunit of coli surface antigens CS1 and CS2 from Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli

Background & Objective: Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is a major causative agent of diarrhea. Enterotoxins and the colonization factors (CFs) are major virulence factors in ETEC infections. The bacterium binds to the intestinal epithelial cell surface through colonization factors and produces enterotoxins that cause excessive fluid and electrolyte secretion in the lumen of the intesti...

Fecal Calprotectin Level in Neonates with Necrotizing Enterocolitis

Background: Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a disease with high mortality. It is more present in premature infants and can also happen in term and late preterm neonates. It may affect any segment of the small intestine or colon. However, most commonly influences the terminal ileum and proximal ascending colon. This disease might damage the entire bowel, which can be...
