Disease relevance of Metaplasia

  • Overexpression of TGF alpha in transgenic mice: induction of epithelial hyperplasia, pancreatic metaplasia, and carcinoma of the breast [1].
  • The pancreas shows progressive interstitial fibrosis and a florid acinoductular metaplasia, during which acinar cells appear to degranulate, dedifferentiate, and assume characteristics of intercalated or centroacinar duct cells [2].
  • Distribution of marker enzymes and mucin in intestinal metaplasia in human stomach and relation to complete and incomplete types of intestinal metaplasia to minute gastric carcinomas [3].
  • RESULTS: Hypermethylation of the promoter region of the APC gene occurred in abnormal esophageal tissue in 48 (92%) of 52 patients with esophageal adenocarcinoma, in 16 (50%) of 32 patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, and in 17 (39.5%) of 43 patients with Barrett's metaplasia but not in matching normal esophageal tissues [4].
  • Here we show that IL-13, a critical cytokine in asthma, causes emphysema with enhanced lung volumes and compliance, mucus metaplasia, and inflammation, when inducibly overexpressed in the adult murine lung [5].
 

Psychiatry related information on Metaplasia

 

High impact information on Metaplasia

  • Mucin overproduction in chronic airway diseases and secretory cell metaplasia in animal model systems are reviewed in section ii and addressed in disease-specific subsections on asthma, COPD, and CF [9].
  • In addition, ngn3(-/-) mice display intestinal metaplasia of the gastric epithelium [10].
  • Seventy-three men with a history of 20 or more pack-years of cigarette smoking who had metaplasia on one or more sputum samples were stratified according to smoking level and randomly assigned to four months' treatment with either placebo or 10 mg of folate plus 500 micrograms of hydroxocobalamin [11].
  • Improvement in bronchial squamous metaplasia in smokers treated with folate and vitamin B12. Report of a preliminary randomized, double-blind intervention trial [11].
  • Unlike their Hck(-/-) "loss-of-function" counterparts, Hck(F/F) "gain-of-function" mice spontaneously acquired a lung pathology characterized by extensive eosinophilic and mononuclear cell infiltration within the lung parenchyma, alveolar airspaces, and around blood vessels, as well as marked epithelial mucus metaplasia in conducting airways [12].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Metaplasia

  • These data support the hypothesis that epidermoid metaplasia of tracheobronchial epithelium caused by vitamin A deficiency originates from the generative or basal cells [13].
  • RESULTS: A strong proliferative response in lung tissue and squamous metaplasia was observed in all beta-carotene-supplemented animals, and this response was enhanced by exposure to tobacco smoke [14].
  • Ethanol feeding resulted in a 70% increase in the labeling index of basal cells in squamous metaplasia (30.7 +/- 3.5 vs. 17.3 +/- 1.5%; P less than .02) [15].
  • These results indicate that intestinal metaplasia does not play a role in the induction of gastric tumors by MNNG [16].
  • The incomplete type of intestinal metaplasia was associated with sucrose alpha-D-glucohydrolase, APM, goblet cells, and HID-positive mucin but not with alpha, alpha-trehalase, ALP, or Paneth's cells [3].
 

Biological context of Metaplasia

 

Anatomical context of Metaplasia

 

Gene context of Metaplasia

  • Blocking airway mucous cell metaplasia by inhibiting EGFR antiapoptosis and IL-13 transdifferentiation signals [25].
  • CONCLUSIONS: Gastric expression of Cdx2 alone was sufficient to induce intestinal metaplasia in mice [26].
  • Klf4 mutants also display aberrant expression of acidic mucins and TFF2/SP-positive cells, findings characteristic of premalignant conditions, but no inflammation, intestinal metaplasia, dysplasia, or cancer up to 1 year of age [27].
  • CDX1 is an important molecular mediator of Barrett's metaplasia [28].
  • In the stomach, hP1.B mRNA is relatively scarce but is more abundant in foci of intestinal metaplasia and near to ulceration [29].
