Abstract

The mucus layer that coats the airway epithelium provides a protective barrier against pathogenic and noxious agents and participates in the mucosal response to inflammation and infection. Airway mucus is composed of water, ions, lung secretions, serum protein transudates, and mucin glycoproteins (mucins). Mucins are the major components of mucus and the macromolecules that impart rheologic properties to airway mucus (1, 2). Airway mucus is overproduced in the upper and/or lower respiratory tracts during acute challenges and in chronic conditions (asthma, cystic fibrosis, bronchitis, and sinusitis), thereby contributing to mucus obstruction of the airways (3). Mucus obstruction is the culmination of several complex processes including mucin ( MUC ) gene regulation, mucin secretion and goblet cell hyperplasia (GCH) (Figure 1). Insight into each of these processes is limited; more detailed information about fundamental cellular mechanisms will be required to better understand their interrelationships. For example, pathogenic agents and inflammatory mediators initiate secretion of mucins (4–7) and sustain mucin production by increasing expression of mucin genes (8, 9). Nevertheless, each process has markedly different kinetics and their response to mediators likely involves different cellular signaling and pathways. The increasing availability of molecular probes for specific mucin genes and gene products is beginning to provide some insights into the pathogenesis of mucus overproduction. However, detailed information about the expression and regulation of respiratory tract mucins in specific disease entities is still incomplete. The report by Chen and colleagues (10) provides new information on altered expression of a specific mucin gene, MUC5B.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
