Mucin 13: Structure, Function, and Potential Roles in Cancer Pathogenesis

Abstract: Mucin 13 (MUC13) is a high-molecular-weight transmembrane glycoprotein that is frequently and aberrantly expressed in a variety of epithelial carcinomas, including gastric, colorectal, and ovarian cancers. On the basis of the high expression of MUC13 in cancer cells as well as recent laboratory findings suggesting a malignant phenotype of MUC13-transfected cell lines, the oncogenic potential of MUC13 has emerged. The various functional domains of MUC13 may confer oncogenic potential to MUC13. For example, the … Show more

“…MUC13 has a role in protection of epithelial cells from pathogen infection and also functions in cell signaling. 23 Correlated expression levels among genes in a disease-and compartment-specific manner have been used to identify functional relationships, including physical interactions and regulatory mechanisms. 24 For the HR and LR genotypes separately and independent of histologic diagnosis, we found a single coexpression module of genes that included the expression of APOL1 in TI.…”

“…Interestingly, a significant number of cell juncture/adhesion proteins were biotinylated, including mucin 13; integrins β1, β5, and α6, CD44, catenin δ, desmoglein, the coxsackie virus and adenovirus receptor, and the 4F2 cell-surface antigen heavy chain ( Table I). All of these have been identified as potential cancer biomarkers (79)(80)(81)(82)(83)92), but their specific interactions with K-Ras and contributions to the progression of pancreatic cancers have yet to be thoroughly elucidated. We anticipate that analysis of these and other K-Ras interactions in pancreatic cancer cells, and in other cancers will be worthy of further scrutiny.…”

“…Although there are at least five cell-surface mucins expressed in the gastrointestinal tract (48), only mucin 13 (MUC13) was observed in this study, uniquely expressed in the apical EpCAM-Exos (Table I). MUC13 has been shown via immunohistochemistry to be expressed exclusively on the apical membrane surface of normal columnar and goblet cells in the gastrointestinal tract, deep in crypts; it is aberrantly expressed in a variety of epithelial carcinomas, including gastric, colorectal, and ovarian cancers, where, in addition to apical surfaces, it also localizes to lateral and basolateral surfaces (49). There was no evidence of MUC13 expression in the A33-Exos preparation.…”
