Example sentences for: mucin
How can you use “mucin” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
, morphology, mucin secretion, etc.), these cells retain the normal phenotype of cells in vivo .
Dog gallbladder epithelial cells demonstrated increased mucin secretion following TNF-α treatment [ 10 ] . In addition, exogenous TNF-α altered the absorptive properties of cultured human gallbladder epithelial cells [ 37 ] . It is therefore reasonable to suggest that TNF-α produced by gallbladder epithelial cells in response to LPS could affect cellular function in an autocrine manner.
Since mucin secretion and gallbladder transport properties play vital roles in cholelithiasis, changes in these parameters caused by endogenous cytokines and chemokines may promote stone formation.
Other features observed more often in A-GVHD with statistically significant differences as compared to the negative control groups included (Table 2and 4, Figure 2): pericryptal apoptosis adjacent to the crypts in LP, crypt abnormalities (including crypt size variation, crypt dilatation and irregular crypt distribution), reactive changes in LP (including reduced mucosal thickness, muciphages in LP, increased microvessel network, and focal fibrosis), and reactive changes in the surface epithelium with mucin depletion.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive disease caused by mutations in the gene encoding the CFTR chloride channel [ 1 ] . CFTR is known to possess multiple cellular functions beyond its role as an apical membrane chloride channel [ 2 ] . For example, regulation of other ion channels, such as the epithelial sodium channel and the outwardly rectified chloride channel, are well-described functions of CFTR [ 3 4 ] . Numerous other functions, such as regulation of intracellular vesicular pH, regulation of membrane recycling, and regulation of mucin exocytosis are less firmly established.
