Hypoxia-mediated mechanism of MUC5AC production in human nasal epithelia and its implication in rhinosinusitis.
Excessive mucus production is typical in various upper airway diseases. In sinusitis, the expression of MUC5AC, a major respiratory mucin gene, increases. However, the mechanisms leading to mucus hypersecretion in sinusitis have not been characterized. Hypoxia due to occlusion of the sinus ostium is...
