Developmental Mucin Gene Expression in the Gastroduodenal Tract and Accessory Digestive Glands. I. Stomach: A Relationship to Gastric Carcinoma
1 Dec 2000
Abstract excerpt
Studies were undertaken to provide information regarding cell-specific expression of mucin genes in stomach and their relation to developmental and neoplastic patterns of epithelial cytodifferentiation. In situ hybridization was used to study mRNA expression of eight mucin genes (MUC1-4, MUC5AC, MUC5B, MUC6, MUC7) in stomach of 13 human embryos and fetuses (8-27 weeks' gestation), comparing these with normal,...
