| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Compared with their counterparts with asthma or COPD alone, patients with ACO have significantly increased risk of exacerbations and worse respiratory symptoms. Activation of the interleukin-13 (IL-13) receptor leads to signal transducer and induction of chloride channel accessory 1 (CLCA1) and anoctamin-1(ANO1), increasing secretion of the gel-forming mucin MUC5AC. Activation of TGFα also leads to MUC5AC production via extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK1/2). We examined the effect of both IL-13 and TGFα signaling leading to mucin production. Histochemical analysis was performed using hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining and MUC5AC immunostaining. MUC5AC, ANO1 and CLCA1 mRNA expression were evaluated by real-time PCR. Western analysis was used to assess phosphorylation. Our data suggest that the effect of both IL-13 and TGFα signaling increased mucus secretion perhaps via cross talk among cell-signaling transduction pathways.
