Sulfur Dioxide 72-86 solute carrier family 13 member 2 Rattus norvegicus 16-21 2261514-3 1990 We are investigating this possibility by monitoring steady state levels of mucin mRNA in a model of mucous cell metaplasia induced by SO2 exposure. Sulfur Dioxide 134-137 solute carrier family 13 member 2 Rattus norvegicus 75-80 2261514-13 1990 Densitometry values normalized for the amount of RNA loaded per lane (as determined by actin hybridization intensity) showed that mucin mRNA increased 8-9 fold as a function of SO2 exposure. Sulfur Dioxide 177-180 solute carrier family 13 member 2 Rattus norvegicus 130-135 2261514-14 1990 This is consistent with the possibility that mucin gene transcription is induced by SO2 exposure, and may represent a primary event in the development of mucous metaplasia and hypersecretion. Sulfur Dioxide 84-87 solute carrier family 13 member 2 Rattus norvegicus 45-50
