Ulcer‐associated cell lineage expresses genes involved in regeneration and is hallmarked by high neutrophil gelatinase‐associated lipocalin (NGAL) levels
12 Feb 2019
Abstract excerpt
Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), also known as Lipocalin 2, is an antimicrobial protein, encoded by the gene LCN2, strongly upregulated in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and a promising biomarker for IBD. Here we demonstrate that NGAL is highly expressed in all parts of pyloric metaplasia, also known as the ulcer-associated cell lineage (UACL), a metaplastic cell lineage suggested to play a...
