2. 1. Mucus and mucins during gastrointestinal infections

   Author : Nazanin Navabi; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; mucin; gastrointestinal cell lines; mucus layer; secreted mucin; cell surface mucin; H. pylori; C. rodentium; ETEC; mucin secretion; goblet cells;

   Abstract : The gastrointestinal tract is protected by a continuously secreted mucus layer formed by mucin glycoproteins. The mucus layer and mucins change dynamically during infection. The main focus of this thesis was to investigate the changes in mucin and the mucus layer in the gastrointestinal tract during infection with the gastrointestinal pathogens C. READ MORE

4. 2. Human Beta-microseminoprotein expression, with special reference to gastric mucosa, atrophic corpus gastritis and gastric carcinoids

   Author : Håkan Weiber; Kirurgi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; gastric carcinoids; atrophic corpus gastritis; stomach; in situ hybridization; immunohistochemistry; radioimmunoassay; chromogranin A; gastrin; Beta-microseminoprotein; mucin; Surgery; orthopaedics; traumatology; Kirurgi; ortopedi; traumatologi; Gastro-enterology; Gastroenterologi;

   Abstract : Human Beta-microseminoprotein is a 94 amino acid protein with 10 cysteins present in seminal plasma and on many mucosal surfaces in the body. The function of the protein is unknown. The purpose of this investigation was to study the distribution of Beta-microseminoprotein in the human body, especially in the stomach. READ MORE

5. 3. The Relationship between Transmembrane Mucins, Ion Channels and PDZ Adaptor Proteins in the Small Intestine

   Author : Thaher Pelaseyed; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; intestine; mucin; MUC3; MUC17; SEA; PDZK1; GOPC; CFTR; NHE3;

   Abstract : The human body is continuously exposed to challenges from the surrounding world. In analogy with the skin, mucus is a well-organized and highly regulated barrier composed of polymeric and O-glycosylated mucins that protects luminal organs such as the gastrointestinal tracts from the outer milieu.

6. 4. Mucins in normal and diseased airways

   Author : Hans Hovenberg; Institutionen för experimentell medicinsk vetenskap; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Respiratory system; Submucosal glands; Goblet cells; Organ culture; Respiratory tract; Mucins; Mucus glycoproteins; Andningsorganen;

   Abstract : Mucus glycoproteins (mucins) are the principal constituents of respiratory secretions in health and disease. The increased 'acidity' of mucin producing cells in the bronchitic airways is not reflected in a change of negative charge of bronchitic mucins. READ MORE

7. 5. Citrobacter rodentium and Escherichia coli interactions with mucus producing colonic epithelical cells

   Author : Sinan Sharba; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; A E pathogens; cytokines; epithelium; mitochondria; mucus;

   Abstract : The epithelial cells together with the mucus layer protect the host from noxious luminal substances and pathogenic invasion. Pathogens have evolved numerous strategies to circumvent these barriers and mount infection. C. rodentium is a murine model for the attaching and effacing intestinal E. READ MORE
