Divergent expression of
MUC5AC, MUC6, MUC2, CD10, and CDX-2 in dysplasia and intramucosal adenocarcinomas with intestinal and foveolar morphology: is this evidence of distinct gastric and intestinal pathways to carcinogenesis in Barrett esophagus ?
Additionally, it was observed that the patients with pancreatic cancer with a positive expression of mRNA
MUC5AC had better survival rates than the patients without any mRNA
MUC5AC expression [7].
Delprado et al., "MUC1, MUC2, MUC4,
MUC5AC and MUC6 expression in the progression of prostate cancer," Clinical & Experimental Metastasis, vol.
[24] published an article combining measurements of the standard CA 19-9 assay with detection of CA 199 on proteins mucin
MUC5AC and MUC16; the sensitivity of cancer detection was improved relative to CA 19-9 alone in each sample set, achieving 67-80% sensitivity at 98% specificity.
(b) Focal positivity with
MUC5AC in pyloric gland adenoma, reiterating mixed-lineage nature of ICPN of the gallbladder.

MUC5AC gastric foveolar mucin in mucinous cancers of the colorectum and related lesions," International Journal of Cancer, vol.
However, cytokeratin (clone: AE1AE3), ^-catenin, progesterone receptor (PgR), thyroid transcription factor- (TTF-) 1, synaptophysin, thyroglobulin, surfactant apoprotein (SPA), epithelial-CMA (EpCAM),
MUC5AC (a mucinous-associated protein), neural cell-CAM (NCAM), human melanin black (HMB) 45, and CD20 were negative (Figures 7(a) and 7(b)).

MUC5AC," Respirology, vol.
Moreover,
MUC5AC has been also reported as positive, while hormone receptors, CDX2, MUC1, MUC2, and GCDFP-15, were always unexpressed [3].
As the mucous cell metaplasia developed, it was observed that
Muc5ac was the primary airway mucin expressed, which is also characteristic of human asthma [36,37].
In particular, several transmembrane mucins (MUC1, MUC4, and MUC16), and secretion mucins have been identified (MUC2 and
MUC5AC) on the ocular surface [6-8].
Tomatidine significantly decreased IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, CCL11, iNOS,
MUC5AC, and gob5 gene expression in OVA-sensitized mice and increased the expression of the IFN-[gamma] gene compared to OVA-sensitized mice (Figure 5).
