Mucins, Mucus, and Goblet Cells
331
TL;DR: Insight into the innate immune properties of mucins and goblet cells support a shift from the current paradigm of repressing increased mucin expression to targeting regulation of specific mucins or mucin hyperconcentration in the abnormal airway milieu.

Reduced miR-513a-5p expression in COPD may regulate airway mucous cell hyperplasia through TFR1-dependent signaling.
Jia Zhou,Jun-Yi Du,Rui Xu,Xiao-juan Wu,Guo-yue Zhang +4 more
TL;DR: The findings supported that miR-513a-5p/TFR1 signaling axis might activate macrophages as well as promote airway inflammation and airway mucous cell hyperplasia in COPD.
Comprehensive landscape-style investigation of the molecular mechanism of acupuncture at ST36 single acupoint on different systemic diseases
Xiaojing Fan,Yunlong Liu,Shanshan Li,Yongrui Yang,Yinghui Zhao,Wenxi Li,Jiaxin Hao,Zhifang Xu,Bo Zhang,Wei Liu,Suzhao Zhang +10 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that stimulation of ST36 single acupoints has therapeutic effects mainly in models of respiratory, neurological, digestive, endocrine and immune system diseases.
Uncovering the Cellular Microenvironment in Chronic Rhinosinusitis via Single-Cell RNA Sequencing: Application and Future Directions
Yuzhuo Liu,Wei Lv,Weiqing Wang +2 more
An optimized method to visualize the goblet cell-associated antigen passages and identify goblet cells in the intestine, conjunctiva, and airway.
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper presented a new protocol for visualizing GAPs with better mucus preservation by combining 4% PFA and methanol-Carnoy's solution (PFA-MC).

TL;DR: This study shows that Muc2 deficiency leads to inflammation of the colon and contributes to the onset and perpetuation of experimental colitis.

Airway mucus function and dysfunction.
John V. Fahy,Burton F. Dickey +1 more
TL;DR: Pulmonary defense against environmental injury depends on airway mucus, which traps inhaled toxins that are then cleared from the lungs by ciliary beating and cough.
The two mucus layers of colon are organized by the MUC2 mucin, whereas the outer layer is a legislator of host–microbial interactions
TL;DR: The colon mucus is organized in two layers: an inner, stratified mucus layer that is firmly adherent to the epithelial cells and approximately 50 μm thick; and an outer, nonattached layer, usually approximately 100 μm thickness as measured in mouse.

TL;DR: Among selected subjects with COPD, azithromycin taken daily for 1 year, when added to usual treatment, decreased the frequency of exacerbations and improved quality of life but caused hearing decrements in a small percentage of subjects.

Max A. Seibold,Anastasia L. Wise,Marcy C. Speer,Mark P. Steele,Kevin K. Brown,James E. Loyd,Tasha E. Fingerlin,Weiming Zhang,Gunnar Gudmundsson,Steve D. Groshong,Christopher M. Evans,Stavros Garantziotis,Kenneth B. Adler,Burton F. Dickey,Roland M. du Bois,Ivana V. Yang,Aretha Herron,Dolly Kervitsky,Janet Talbert,Cheryl Markin,Joungjoa Park,Anne L. Crews,Susan Slifer,Scott S. Auerbach,Michelle G. Roy,Jia Lin,Corinne E. Hennessy,Marvin I. Schwarz,David A. Schwartz +28 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that dysregulated MUC5B expression in the lung may be involved in the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis, and a common polymorphism in the promoter of M UC5B is associated with familial interstitial pneumonia and idiopathic pulmonary fibrot.
