Journal ArticleDOI

Homology of lubricin and superficial zone protein (SZP): Products of megakaryocyte stimulating factor (MSF) gene expression by human synovial fibroblasts and articular chondrocytes localized to chromosome 1q25

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that CAP, a large joint arthropathy, may be associated with ineffective boundary lubrication provided by synovial fluid, and both SZP and lubricin occupy a new class of biomolecules termed tribonectins.
Journal Article

Lubricin is a product of megakaryocyte stimulating factor gene expression by human synovial fibroblasts.

TL;DR: Lubricin is secreted by synovial fibroblasts via expression of the MSF gene and is the only lubricating component in the final lubricating fraction of humansynovial fluid.
Journal ArticleDOI

Claudin expression in gastric adenocarcinomas: a tissue microarray study with prognostic correlation.

TL;DR: Claudins 1, 3, and 4 and ZO-1 are strongly expressed in most gastric intestinal-type adenocarcinomas but less frequently in diffuse gastric cancers, which suggests their potential utility as diagnostic biomarkers and possible targets for therapeutic intervention.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of a novel protein, LYRIC, localized to tight junctions of polarized epithelial cells.

TL;DR: A novel protein LYsine-RIch CEACAM1 co-isolated (LYRIC) that is widely expressed and highly conserved between species is described, which suggests that LYRIC is recruited during the maturation of the tight junction complex.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cloning of a cDNA encoding a putative human very low density lipoprotein/apolipoprotein E receptor and assignment of the gene to chromosome 9pter-p23.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the putative VLDL/ApoE receptor could play a role in the uptake of triglyceride-rich lipoprotein particles by specific organs including striated and cardiac muscle and adipose tissue and in the transport of maternal lipids across the placenta.
