Most current cell-based models for examining the regulation of mucin secretion demonstrate low signal-to-noise ratios, making experimental manipulation and data interpretation difficult. Using adenosine triphosphate (ATP) as a mucin secretagogue, we have developed a model of agonist-induced mucin secretion in differentiated human bronchial epithelial cells. Mucin secretory signals were estimated using enzyme-linked lectin assay, and typical signals of 300-400% of baseline were observed in res...

Endothelin-1 Inhibits Mucin Secretion from Ovine Airway Epithelial Goblet Cells
American Journal of Respiratory Cell and Molecular Biology ; Mucus hypersecretion is a feature of several respiratory diseases and frequently leads to obstruction of small airways where the principal source of mucous glycoproteins (mucins), the major macromolecular constituents of mucus, are goblet cells. Hence, inhibition of mucin secretion from these cells
A^sub 3^ Adenosine Receptor Signaling Contributes to Airway Mucin Secretion after Allergen Challenge
American Journal of Respiratory Cell and Molecular Biology ; Mucin hypersecretion is a prominent feature of obstructive airway diseases such as asthma. Clara cells conditionally produce mucin in response to inflammatory signals in a process termed mucous metaplasia. This can be followed by mucin secretion stimulated by various signaling molecules. The
Tumor necrosis factor-(alpha) stimulates mucin secretion and cyclic GMP production by guinea pig tracheal epithelial cells in vitro
American Journal of Respiratory Cell and Molecular Biology ; Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-ez, a pluripotent cytokine implicated in the pathogenesis of airway inflammation, has been shown to provoke hypersecretion of mucin by airway epithelial cells in vitro. In this study, we investigated potential signaling pathways mediating TNF-a-induced mucin secretion
Small Intestinal Mucins Are Secreted in Proportion to the Settling Volume in Water of Dietary Indigestible Components in Rats
The Journal of Nutrition ; ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to clarify the effect of dietary indigestible components on small intestinal mucin secretion. We prepared polystyrene foam (PSF) with different expansion ratios (PSF-30, -60 and -90) in which powders had different settling volumes in water (SV). Rats were fed a

MARCKS Regulation of Mucin Secretion by Airway Epithelium in Vitro: Interaction with Chaperones
American Journal of Respiratory Cell and Molecular Biology ; We have reported previously that myristoylated alanine-rich C kinase substrate (MARCKS) is a key regulatory molecule controlling mucin secretion by airway epithelial cells in vitro and in vivo. The results of those studies supported a mechanism whereby MARCKS, upon phosphorylation by protein kinase
Increased Luminal Mucin Does Not Disturb Glucose or Ovalbumin Absorption in Rats Fed Insoluble Dietary Fiber
The Journal of Nutrition ; Abstract We tested whether increased mucin secretion due to ingestion of insoluble dietary fiber (IDF) affects small intestinal nutrient absorption in rats. Polystyrene foam (PSF) with a true expansion ratio of 54.9 was used as a model for IDF with high bulk-forming properties. In Expt. 1, rats
