Expression of <i>Pla2g2a</i> prevents carcinogenesis in <i>Muc2</i>‐deficient mice
16 Oct 2008
Abstract excerpt
Goblet cell depletion and down-regulation of MUC2 expression are observed in a significant percentage of human non-mucinous colorectal adenocarcinomas. Direct evidence for the role of MUC2 in gastrointestinal tumor formation was demonstrated by a knockout of Muc2 in mice that resulted in the development of adenocarcinomas in the small and large intestine. The secretory phospholipase Pla2g2a is a protein that...
