Example sentences for: gland
How can you use “gland” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
In the present study we used a carcinogen-induced rat mammary carcinogenesis model to test the hypothesis that chemoprevention by tamoxifen and retinoids is associated with local upregulation of TGF-βs in the mammary gland, and that TGF-βs might therefore be useful as potential surrogate end-point biomarkers of chemopreventive efficacy in clinical trials.
Since the focus of the present study was on TGF-β expression changes in the preneoplastic gland, staining of the tumors was not scored for the analysis, but in the two cases present, the staining did not differ significantly from that of the surrounding normal-appearing ducts (not shown).
All patients studied had objective evidence of 1°SS, including keratoconjunctivitis sicca, positive labial salivary gland biopsy, autoantibodies and/or salivary gland hypofunction.
In addition we identified a putative fifth exon for P24 from hypothalamus (BG715502) and pineal gland (AA363698) cDNA libraries, located between exons 2 and 3 in the 5-prime untranslated region and flanked by non-traditional splice donor and acceptor bases [ 25 ] . The novel exon was not present in the full-length mRNA sequence (AF418980).
Ese-1/Esx is a member of the Ets transcription factor family and is expressed mainly in epithelial tissue [ 30 ] . Its expression has been detected during mammary gland development and breast tumorigenesis [ 47 48 ] . It is noteworthy that Ese-1/Esx is a potential transcriptional regulator of the TGFβ type II receptor [ 31 ] and overexpression of Ese-1/Esx in non-invasive cells leads to a reduction in cell growth in the presence of TGFβ, presumably because of an increased TGFβ type II receptor level [ 49 ] . It is interesting that TGFβ-dependent downregulation of Ese-1/Esx is not affected by SB-203580.
