How Does This Key Event Relationship Work
Goblet cell hyperplasia arises from increased goblet cell proliferation resulting in enlargement of the tissue.
Weight of Evidence
Biological Plausibility
Hyperplasia is increased cell production in a normal tissue or organ, therefore, goblet cell hyperplasia is an increase in the number of goblet cells.
Empirical Support for Linkage
Include consideration of temporal concordance here
There is no empirical support as the KEs are equivalent in definition but on different levels of biological organization. Studies often study either the cellular or the tissue level but not the overlap.
Uncertainties or Inconsistencies
Quantitative Understanding of the Linkage
Is it known how much change in the first event is needed to impact the second? Are there known modulators of the response-response relationships? Are there models or extrapolation approaches that help describe those relationships?
As the definition of hyperplasia is proliferation of cells on a tissue level, the impact is one-to-one.
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).
