A novel approach to describing the pancreas and submandibular gland: Can they be classified as primary and secondary tissue organs?
2022, Acta HistochemicaCitation Excerpt :For example, removing SMGs in rats exacerbated ethanol induced gastric ulcers (Leitch, 1985) and showed higher susceptibility to ulcerogenic agents such as dexamethasone and indomethacin (Olsen et al., 1986). In addition to EGF, mucins and other proteins secreted from SMGs aid the healing of an ulcer (Skinner et al., 1984; Olsen et al., 1986; Sarosiek et al., 1988). During the healing process, salivary and pancreatic progenitors also share a very similar mechanism in repair and regeneration (Mathison, 2010).
The impact of Helicobacter pylori on EGF, EGF receptor, and the c-erb-B2 expression
2014, Advances in Medical SciencesCitation Excerpt :Recent data suggest that increased expression of epidermal growth factor (EGF) and its receptor (EGFR), and expression of homological EGF receptor – c-erb-B2 protein in gastric mucosa may induce changes in gastric epithelial cells leading to cancer [5–11]. EGF, through interaction with its receptor, stimulates the cell proliferation and migration and triggers epithelial cell signaling [12,13]. A few studies have shown that H. pylori infection is associated with increased EGF expression, and with up-regulation of EGFR expression, which has an antiapoptotic effect on gastric epithelial cells [14–20].
A distinct salivary secretory response mediated by the esophago-salivary reflex in patients with Barrett's esophagus: Its potential pathogenetic implications
2014, Advances in Medical SciencesCitation Excerpt :Proteins such as proline-rich proteins, fucose-rich glycoprotein, histidine-rich proteins have been found to play a significant role in the maintenance of the integrity of the oral cavity mucosa [30,34–38]. The protective role of EGF is related to esophageal and gastric mucosal repair of the damage in the alimentary tract [39,40]. Overall our current study indicates that patients with BE exhibit a significant impairment in salivary secretory function, mediated by esophago-salivary reflex evoked by intraesophageal mechanical and chemical stimulation, mimicking the natural gastroesophageal reflux scenario.
Significant Enhancement of Esophageal Pre-Epithelial Defense by Tegaserod: Implications for an Esophagoprotective Effect
2007, Clinical Gastroenterology and HepatologyCitation Excerpt :Protective components of secretions such as buffers, and mucin have an immediate effect, neutralizing the digestive power of gastroesophageal refluxate and acting through the mucus/buffer layer covering the esophageal mucosa.11 Other protective components, such as EGF and TGFα, have a long-term role in the surveillance of the mucosal integrity and repair should any injury take place.12,33–36 We recently showed that GERD patients with RE show significantly lower EGF in salivary and esophageal secretions.15,16
