| Research Abstract |
Airway occlusion by mucus in COPD is associated with a poor prognosis. Repeated-elastase aspiration induced marked goblet cell metaplasia in mice. The goblet cell metaplasia, increase in inflammatory cells and chemokine levels in BALF, M3receptor expression, MUC5AC production in vitro were inhibited by tiotropium. This result suggests that tiotropium may be useful for the treatment of mucus overproduction by anti-inflammatory action and a direct action on epithelial cells
