How can you use “epithelial” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Recently, both green tea and cat's claw have been reported to reduce the expression of inflammatory genes; responses that are linked to apoptosis and proliferation [ 23 24 25 26 27 ] . Indeed, cat's claw has been described as a potent inhibitor of the transcription factor NF-κB activation, preventing the expression of TNFα and inducible nitric oxide synthase [ 23 24 ] . These immune/inflammatory products are associated with gastritis and epithelial cell death [ 5 6 7 13 ] and hence cat's claw may have utility in limiting gut inflammation [ 23 ] . Indeed, this matches its ethnomedical use in South America where it is used to treat gastritis and other forms of chronic inflammation like arthritis [ 28 ] . Green tea, and its constituent polyphenols, has been associated with reduced expression of inflammatory genes and signal transduction processes leading to cell death [ 21 25 26 27 ] .
Together, our results are suggestive that insulin activates the rapamycin-sensitive PI 3-kinase pathway in lung epithelial cells and that this event leads to an inhibition of SP-A gene transcription.
H441 cells resemble bronchiolar epithelial Clara cells in phenotype and produce both SP-A and SP-B mRNA and protein [ 14 ] . The hormonal regulation of SP-A and SP-B gene expression in H441 cells is similar to that observed in differentiated type II cells in human fetal lung explants [ 6 7 15 16 ] . We treated H441 cells with the four inhibitors of signal transduction: wortmannin, LY294002, rapamycin and PD98059, to elucidate which signaling pathways are activated when insulin inhibits SP-A gene expression.
Data presented here show that TEA is effective as a blocker of AQP1 channels expressed in a mammalian renal cell line and in native renal epithelial membrane.
LHR expression was also detected in nonpregnant human uterus (glandular and luminal epithelial cells, stromal cells, myometrial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells), syncytiotrophoblast of midterm but not term human placenta, fetal membranes and decidua [ 28 ] , human and rat brain [ 29 30 ] , rat prostate [ 14 15 ] , human trophoblast and syncytiotrophoblast from early pregnancies [ 31 ] , porcine fallopian tubes and umbilical cord [ 16 32 ] , ovarian, decidual, endometrial and luteal macrophages [ 22 33 ] , and ovarian cancer cell cultures and tumor tissues [ 34 ] .
