ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:
Vasointestinal peptide (VIP) is an important neurotransmitter involved in the regulation of mucus secretion, but the relationship of VIP and mucin genes is not clear. This study was designed to investigate the effect of VIP on MUC2/5AC genes expression and mucin secretion in human airway epithelial cells. MATERIALS ANDMETHOD:
The mRNA levels of MUC2/5AC genes and mucin secretion were determined by RT-PCR and the immunoblot method in cultured human airway NCI-H292 epithelial cells.RESULTS:
VIP (10-6-10-10 M) induced MUC2/5AC gene expression and mucin secretion in a reverse dose-dependant manner. The maximum expression of mRNA and mucin secretion level of MUC2/5AC was 10-10 M of VIP. Actinomycin D inhibited the VIP-mediated MUC2/5AC gene expression and mucin secretion, but cycloheximide did not. Budesonide attenuated the VIP-mediated MUC2/5AC genes expression and mucin secretion. RU-486, a glucocorticoid receptor antagonist, restored the inhibitory effect of budesonide.CONCLUSION:
These results suggest that VIP regulates MUC2/5AC gene expression and secret mucin by transcriptional regulation, and that budesonide inhibits the VIP-mediated MUC2/5AC genes expression and mucin secretion through the glucocorticoid receptor.
