Periostin Regulates Goblet Cell Metaplasia in a Model of Allergic Airway Inflammation

Abstract: Periostin is a 90-kDa member of the fasciclin-containing family and functions as part of the extracellular matrix. Periostin is expressed in a variety of tissues and expression is increased in airway epithelial cells from asthmatic patients. Recent studies have implicated a role for periostin in allergic eosinophilic esophagitis. To further define a role for periostin in Th2-mediated inflammatory diseases such as asthma, we studied the development of allergic pulmonary inflammation in periostin-deficient mice.… Show more

“…IFN-γ-induced cell death involves STAT1-dependent translocation of Bax to the endoplasmic reticulum [58]. Sehra et al reported [59] that periostin, a 90-kDa member of the fasciclin-containing family and functions as part of the extracellular matrix, is expressed in a variety of tissues and expression is increased in airway epithelial cells from asthmatic patients as follows. Sensitization and challenge of periostin-deficient mice with OVA resulted in increased peripheral Th2 responses.…”

“…POSTN has a characteristic structure ( Figure 1) consisting of four main domains, namely an N-terminus (encoded by exon 1) containing a signal peptide (SP), a cysteine-rich EMI domain (exons 2 and 3) made up of approximately 75 amino acids, and a tandem of four homologous FAS1 domains (exons [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. The FAS1 domain is a structural homolog of an insect cell adhesion protein fasciclin I and acts as ligand for cell membrane integrins.…”

“…POSTN is a protein produced and secreted by the fibroblasts as a component of the extracellular matrix (ECM) where it is involved in regulating intercellular adhesion [3,4]. POSTN, originally named Osteoblast-Specific Factor 2 (OSF-2), was first identified in 1993 as a putative cell adhesion protein for preosteoblasts in a mouse osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cell line [1,2,[4][5][6].…”

“…Moreover, experimental studies have revealed that the lack of periostin induces a goblet cell hyperplasia in respiratory epithelium [34] and, consequently, a mucus hypersecretion. Thus, periostin may contribute to the enhancement of the mucus secretion in respiratory epithelium (Figure 1).…”

“…It is also involved in the regulation of mucus secretion performed by goblet cells of the respiratory bronchial epithelium, by inhibition Gob5 (putative calcium-activated chloride channel involved in the regulation of mucus production) expression and by binding to integrins α4 and β1/2 and induction of activation of intracellular pathways resulting in the reduction of the expression of transcription factors, such as NF-κB, Sp1, and AP-1 [34,35].…”
