How this Key Event works
Goblet cells proliferate under normal conditions (Chopra et al., 1981) and in response to a variety of stimulants including virus, bacteria and allergens and EGF (Takeno et al., 1996), (Ichinose et al., 2006), (Camateros et al., 2007), (Shatos et al., 2003), (Duh et al., 2000) in colon, eye, nose and lung. EGFR ligands EGF, HB-EGF and TGFA induce goblet cell proliferation through MAPK, p38 MAPK and JNK in cultured conjunctival goblet cells (Gu et al., 2008), (Shatos et al., 2003).
How it is Measured or Detected
Methods that have been previously reviewed and approved by a recognized authority should be included in the Overview section above. All other methods, including those well established in the published literature, should be described here. Consider the following criteria when describing each method: 1. Is the assay fit for purpose? 2. Is the assay directly or indirectly (i.e. a surrogate) related to a key event relevant to the final adverse effect in question? 3. Is the assay repeatable? 4. Is the assay reproducible?
Methods for measuring proliferation include PCNA staining or immunoblotting, BrdU incorporation, [3H]-thymidine incorporation, and [3H]leucine incorporation. Cell counting MUC5AC+ cells is a non-specific method for assessing proliferation, as increased cell numbers can be due to transdifferentiation.
Evidence Supporting Taxonomic Applicability
Goblet cells have been reported to proliferate in human, mouse and rat studies (Takeno et al., 1996), (Ichinose et al., 2006), (Camateros et al., 2007), (Shatos et al., 2003), (Duh et al., 2000).
