MUC5B Secretion is Up-Regulated in Sinusitis Compared with Controls

Abstract: MUC5B secretion is significantly up-regulated in CRS compared with control subjects (p = 0.04). Correlation between viscosity and mucin content was lost in CRS. This is likely to have important implications for future therapies in CRS.

“…Absorbance was read at 450 nm (Sunrise remote; Tecan). The MUC5AC protein content in each sample was estimated in comparison to a standard mucin (polymeric porcine gastric mucin) as previously described (Ali et al 2002;Viswanathan et al 2006). In groups that provided multiple samples, the mean value of MUC5AC protein content was used in the analysis.…”

“…Several of the innate immunity proteins that show increased expression in CRS secretions in our study, e.g., BPIFA1, DMBT1, S100A8, S100A9, LTF, MYH9, and IGHA1, have been reported as being dysregulated in studies of CRS nasal lavage fluid or sinus tissues (6,11,(16)(17)(18)(19). These proteins are discussed below.…”

“…To date, there are no studies on MUC5AC and MUC5B levels in sinonasal secretions from children, although MUC5B levels are increased in adult CRS secretions (6). There also appears to be differences in the pathophysiology of CRS in children compared to adults such that results from adult studies may not be applicable to pediatric CRS (7).…”

“…29 In general, excessive mucus production is commonly seen in respiratory disease 30 and increased levels of the mucins 5B have been found in persons suffering from chronic rhinosinusitis. 31 Extracellular glycoprotein lacritin was increased in the symptomatic and atopic groups at 20 min. At 5 h, this protein was found at even higher levels in the asymptomatic and atopic groups.…”
