Immunohistochemical localisation of urogastrone to human duodenal and submandibular glands.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Urogastrone has been localised by immunostaining to granules of the cells of human duodenal (Brunner's) glands and their ducts and of acinar cells in the human submandibular gland. The immunoreactive peptide is present in large quantities in duodenal glands and their secretory ducts. Urogastrone or human epidermal growth factor promotes cellular proliferation in vivo as well as in vitro and inhibits gastric acid secretion and may, therefore, be one of the duodenal factors inhibiting gastric activity. Thus it may have an important regulatory and protective function for the intestinal mucosa and may possibly become a useful therapeutic agent.

Effect of sialoadenectomy and synthetic human urogastrone on healing of chronic gastric ulcers in rats.
The effect of extirpation of the submandibular glands, an exocrine organ for epidermal growth factor/urogastrone (EGF/URO), and the effect of oral administration of synthetic human (EGF/URO) on healing of chronic gastric ulcers in rats has been investigated. Removal of the submandibular glands delayed healing of chronic gastric ulcers when examined after 50, 100, and 200 days. Oral administrati...
متن کاملImmunohistochemical Study of HER2/neu Overexpression in Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma of Salivary Glands
Background and Objectives: Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC), the most common malignant tumor of submandibular and minor salivary glands, is characterized by a high rate of local recurrence and distant hematogenous metastasis and tendency to invade peripheral nerves. In spite of radiotherapy and surgical treatment, the long-term prognosis is dismal. Today, many studies are being conducted using...
متن کاملUltrasonographic changes of submandibular glands in irradiated patients for head and neck cancers
Background: Salivary glands (SGs) are usually irradiated during radiotherapy for head and neck cancers, which may lead to radiation-induced changes. These changes could be evaluated safely by ultrasonography; however, there have been few studies in this regard. Thus, we aimed to investigate the changes in post-radiotherapy submandibular glands using ultrasonography in patients undergoing head-n...
متن کاملThe effects of tannin-rich diet on protein composition of parotid and submandibular glands of Guinea Pig
Tannins are plant-derived polyphenolic compounds that are widely found in foods, particularly in fruits and beverages. These materials are water-soluble and able to precipitate proteins from aqueous solutions. It had been shown that feeding some animals such as rat and mouse with tannins mimicks the effects of isoproterenol on salivary glands. Tannins stimulate β-receptors by some indirect me...
متن کاملIn vivo aspects of urogastrone-epidermal growth factor.
Recent evidence indicates that human urogastrone-epidermal growth factor originates in submandibular and Brunner's glands and that serum levels are low (less than 1 ng ml-1). It occurs in many secreted fluids to a much greater extent and many tissues are thus exposed to concentrations greater than 100 ng ml-1. Rapid actions in vivo of URO-EGF include the ability to inhibit gastric acid secretio...
