13. pIgR down-regulation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease correlates with severity. Bronchial epithelium in vitro retains aberrant imprinting for pIgR expression. pIgR down-regulation is linked to TGF-beta-driven reprogramming of bronchial epithelium. PMID: 25078120
14. Results indicated that the polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (pIgR) can be divided into several functionally distinct regions. PMID: 23809084
15. Polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (PIGR)expression was lost in most lung cancers and pre-invasive bronchial lesions, suggesting that PIGR downregulation is an early event in lung tumourigenesis. PIGR overexpression inhibited cell proliferation. PMID: 21965228

17. Both native and phage-bound variable domain of camelid derived heavy chain only antibodies, were only able to get across polarized MDCK cells that express the human pIgR gene in a basolateral to apical fashion. PMID: 22022593
18. Results identify pIgR as a potential link between hepatitis B virus-derived hepatitis and HCC metastasis and provide evidence in support of pIgR as a prognostic biomarker for HCC and a potential therapeutic target. PMID: 22025622
19. Streptococcus pneumoniae infection of host epithelial cells via polymeric immunoglobulin receptor transiently induces calcium release from intracellular stores. PMID: 21454571

24. The carboxyl-terminal domains of IgA and IgM direct isotype-specific polymerization and interaction with this receptor PMID: 12213814
25. This protein is cleaved by neutrophil serine proteinases but its epithelial production is increased by neutrophils through NF-kappa B- and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase-dependent mechanisms. PMID: 12654638
26. It seems that a gene associated with susceptibility to immunoglobulin A nephropathy lies within or close to the PIGR gene locus on chromosome 1q in the Japanese population. PMID: 12740691
27. there is a conformational CbpA-binding motif in the D3/D4 region of human polymeric immunoglobulin receptor, which is functionally separated from the IgA-binding site PMID: 13679368

30. TNF-induced up-regulation of the human pIgR critically depends on an NF-kappa B site and flanking sequences within a 204-bp region of the first intron in the pIgR gene, a region largely overlapping with a recently characterized IL-4-responsive enhancer. PMID: 15265917
