BPIFB1 loss alters airway mucus properties and diminishes mucociliary clearance

2020-06-18

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Airway mucociliary clearance (MCC) is required for host defense and often diminished in chronic lung diseases. Effective clearance depends upon coordinated actions of the airway epithelium and a mobile mucus layer. Dysregulation of the primary secreted airway mucin proteins, MUC5B and MUC5AC, is associated with a reduction in the rate of MCC; however, how other secreted proteins impact the integ...
