MUC1 deficiency mediates corticosteroid resistance in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
2018
Background Lung inflammation in COPD is poorly controlled by inhaled corticosteroids (ICS). Strategies to improve ICS efficacy or the search of biomarkers who may select those patients candidates to receive ICS in COPD are needed. Recent data indicate that MUC1 cytoplasmic tail (CT) membrane mucin can mediate corticosteroid efficacy in chronic rhinosinusitis. The objective of this work was to analyze the previously unexplored role of MUC1 on corticosteroid efficacy in COPD in vitro and in vivo models. Methods MUC1-CT expression was measured by real time PCR, western blot, immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence. The inflammatory mediators IL-8, MMP9, GM-CSF and MIP3α were measured by EL…

Figure S1. Acute cigarette smoke/ lipopolysaccharide lung inflammatory animal model showed resistance to dexamethasone improving lung resistance and bronchoalveolar inflammatory cell extravasation in Muc1 KO animals. Figure S2. IL-8 and IL-13 bronchoalveolar fluid content in Muc1 KO mice exposed to acute cigarette smoke/ lipopolysaccharide is resistant to dexamethasone. Figure S3. Inflammatory lung cell infiltration secondary to acute lipopolysaccharide/ cigarette smoke exposure is resistant to dexamethasone in MUC1 KO mice. (DOCX 1611 kb)
