Mucociliary clearance in cystic fibrosis

Abstract: Abnormal mucociliary clearance (MCC) is one of the central hypotheses for the development of lung disease in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). However, attempts to demonstrate this decrease of MCC in vivo have proved to be somewhat less definitive, with the evidence barely favoring impaired clearance. Any apparent disparities are most likely due to the variety of methodologies used by different laboratories to measure MCC. The limitations of the various methodologies are examined in this review, in an attemp… Show more

“…mucus | cystic fibrosis | lung | asthma | COPD M ucus propelled by ciliary activity (mucociliary transport, MCT) is an important host defense that removes particulates from airways (1)(2)(3). The predominant macromolecular components of airway mucus are two secreted mucins, MUC5B and MUC5AC (1,(4)(5)(6)(7).…”

En el epitelio respiratorio esta anormalidad se manifiesta en marcada disminución de la conductancia de Cl -y aumento en la absorción de Na + , resultando un LS deshidratado [47][48][49][50] . El moco se torna más viscoso y se adhiere a la superficie epitelial, colapsando la capa de líquido periciliar y frenando el movimiento ciliar 50,51 .…”
