Hypertrophic and metaplastic changes of goblet cells in rat nasal epithelium induced by endotoxin.

Abstract: To elucidate the mechanisms of epithelial mucus hypersecretion in upper respiratory airway inflammation, we produced hypertrophic and metaplastic changes of goblet cells in rat nasal respiratory epithelium by intranasal instillation of endotoxin. Significant increase of hypertrophic goblet cells was induced in the septal epithelium transversely sectioned at the level of incisive papilla at 24 h after the intranasal instillation of 0.1 mg of endotoxin. This change was completed after 3 d of endotoxin instillati… Show more

“…First, goblet cells show no evidence of DNA synthesis (5,18,66) and contain unphosphorylated retinoblastoma protein and decreased levels of cyclin D 1 and cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (10), consistent with cell cycle arrest in the G1 phase. Second, in the endotoxin-treated rat nose, goblet cell production proceeds in the presence of metaphase blockade, indicating that goblet cell metaplasia can occur in the absence of cell proliferation (53). Third, in pathogen-free rats, the total number of airway epithelial cells remains constant during TGF-␣-induced goblet cell production, whereas the number of Clara cells decreases, suggesting that goblet cells form via differentiation of Clara cells (61).…”

“…A solução 2 também se apresenta hiperosmolar em relação aos componentes do muco (492mOsm/l), porém mais da metade deste valor é devido à glicose que, em maior concentração, parece ter causado uma irritação local mais acentuada, evidenciada pela maior quantidade de células inflamatórias presentes na mucosa nasal deste grupo, resultado estatisticamente diferente dos demais grupos, inclusive do grupo controle, independente do tempo de exposição. Alguns ratos de laboratório podem apresentar infiltrado inflamatório na mucosa nasal mesmo estando livres de doenças e sem serem submetidos a um experimento 17 , porém conforme a exposição a fatores irritantes, estas células tendem a aumentar em número 18,20 .…”

“…sição. Reação semelhante das células mucosas tem sido relatada em ratos submetidos a tratamentos tópicos nasais com diferentes substâncias 17,18,20 . Na tentativa de encontrar uma explicação fisiológica para este resultado, procurou-se analisar a composição de íons presentes no muco, relacionando as diferentes soluções estudadas.…”
