Abstract
INTRODUCTION Respiratory diseases such as chronic rhinosinusitis and asthma are observed at increased rates in active duty and veteran military members, and they are especially prevalent in individuals who have been deployed in Southwest Asia during Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. Particulate matter, specifically the fine-grain desert sand found in the Middle East, may be a key source of this pathology because of deleterious effects on mucociliary clearance. MATERIALS AND METHODS With IRB approval, human sinonasal tissue was grown at an air-liquid interface and cultures were exposed to different types and sizes of particulate matter, including sand from Afghanistan and Kuwait. Ciliary dynamic responses to mechanical stimulation and ATP application were assessed following particulate exposure. RESULTS Particle size of the commercial sand was substantially larger than that of the sand of Afghan or Kuwaiti origin. Following exposure to particulate matter, normal dynamic ciliary responses to mechanical stimulation and ATP application were significantly decreased (P < .01), with corresponding decreases in ATP-induced calcium flux (P < .05). These changes were partially reversible with apical washing after a 16-h period of exposure. After 36 h of exposure to Middle Eastern sand, ciliary responses to purinergic stimulation were completely abolished. CONCLUSIONS There is a neutralization of the dynamic ciliary response following chronic particulate matter exposure, similar to ciliary pathologies observed in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis. Aerosolized particulate matter endured by military personnel in the Southwest Asia may cause dysfunctional mucociliary clearance; these data help to explain the increased prevalence of respiratory pathology in individuals who are or have been deployed in this region.

Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2024; 703:149685.

Abstract
Ciliary beating in the airway epithelium plays an important role in preventing infection by eliminating small particles and pathogens. Stimulation of β2 adrenergic receptor (β2AR) increases [cAMP]i levels and strongly activates this ciliary beating. β2AR is localized to the apical membrane of the airways by indirectly binding to ezrin, an actin-binding protein. Ezrin takes active phosphorylated and inactive dephosphorylated states at Thr-567. Previously we showed that procaterol-stimulated ciliary beating was impaired in the ezrin-knockdown mice. In this study, we examined the roles of ezrin and its phosphorylation in regulating ciliary beating by using NSC305787, an ezrin inhibitor, in normal human airway epithelial cells (NHBE). We found that NSC305787 inhibits the phosphorylation of ezrin with an IC50 of 50 μM in NHBE. Treatment with NSC305787 for 4 h or more decreased the expression of β2AR in the cell membrane and induced vesicle- or dot-like expression of ezrin and β2AR inside the cell. As a result, inhibition of ezrin phosphorylation by NSC305787 attenuated the effect of procaterol-induced activation of ciliary beating in both frequency and distance indices.

Abstract
Host-derived succinate accumulates in the airways during bacterial infection. Here, we show that luminal succinate activates murine tracheal brush (tuft) cells through a signaling cascade involving the succinate receptor 1 (SUCNR1), phospholipase Cβ2, and the cation channel transient receptor potential channel subfamily M member 5 (TRPM5). Stimulated brush cells then trigger a long-range Ca2+ wave spreading radially over the tracheal epithelium through a sequential signaling process. First, brush cells release acetylcholine, which excites nearby cells via muscarinic acetylcholine receptors. From there, the Ca2+ wave propagates through gap junction signaling, reaching also distant ciliated and secretory cells. These effector cells translate activation into enhanced ciliary activity and Cl- secretion, which are synergistic in boosting mucociliary clearance, the major innate defense mechanism of the airways. Our data establish tracheal brush cells as a central hub in triggering a global epithelial defense program in response to a danger-associated metabolite.

Abstract
Due to the lack of an assessment approach, the image of in vivo nasal ciliary motion of allergic rhinitis (AR) has never been captured and analyzed to date. Here, we have used an optimized approach to analyze the nasal ciliary function in vivo in AR rats. The digital microscopy system, a method for direct observation of ciliary motion in a living AR rat model, was applied to visualize and measure ciliary motion in vivo, including ciliary beat frequency (CBF) and ciliary beat distance (CBD). The AR rat model was established by ovalbumin sensitization. Comparisons of nasal ciliary motion in vivo between the experimental group (ovalbumin sensitization, allergen, or histamine) and the control group were analyzed. In the living rat model of allergic rhinitis, CBF and CBD decreased to 57.8 and 73.1% of the control group, respectively, but were restored after administration of chlorpheniramine maleate. Ovalbumin (OVA) significantly inhibited the ciliary motion of normal mucosa in vivo. However, responding to the OVA challenge, the ciliary motion of OVA-sensitized mucosa would not decrease further and stay at a stable level. Histamine stimulated in vivo ciliary motion quickly within 30 min, but afterward, the ciliary motion gradually decreased below the baseline. These results have clarified that in vivo ciliary motion was impaired by nasal mucosal sensitization, and this impairment was most likely related to allergen challenge and histamine. In addition, the short-term stimulation and long-term inhibition effects of histamine on in vivo ciliary motion were first reported in this study.

Abstract
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), group 1 pulmonary hypertension (PH), is a fatal disease that is characterized by vasoconstriction, increased pressure in the pulmonary arteries, and right heart failure. PAH can be described by abnormal vascular remodeling, hyperproliferation in the vasculature, endothelial cell dysfunction, and vascular tone dysregulation. The disease pathomechanisms, however, are as yet not fully understood at the molecular level. Purinergic receptors P2Y within the G-protein-coupled receptor family play a major role in fluid shear stress transduction, proliferation, migration, and vascular tone regulation in systemic circulation, but less is known about their contribution in PAH. Hence, studies that focus on purinergic signaling are of great importance for the identification of new therapeutic targets in PAH. Interestingly, the role of P2Y2 receptors has not yet been sufficiently studied in PAH, whereas the relevance of other P2Ys as drug targets for PAH was shown using specific agonists or antagonists. In this review, we will shed light on P2Y receptors and focus more on the P2Y2 receptor as a potential novel player in PAH and as a new therapeutic target for disease management.

Airway Epithelial Nucleotide Release Contributes to Mucociliary Clearance. Life (Basel) 2021; 11:life11050430.

Abstract
Mucociliary clearance (MCC) is a dominant component of pulmonary host defense. In health, the periciliary layer (PCL) is optimally hydrated, thus acting as an efficient lubricant layer over which the mucus layer moves by ciliary force. Airway surface dehydration and production of hyperconcentrated mucus is a common feature of chronic obstructive lung diseases such as cystic fibrosis (CF) and chronic bronchitis (CB). Mucus hydration is driven by electrolyte transport activities, which in turn are regulated by airway epithelial purinergic receptors. The activity of these receptors is controlled by the extracellular concentrations of ATP and its metabolite adenosine. Vesicular and conducted pathways contribute to ATP release from airway epithelial cells. In this study, we review the evidence leading to the identification of major components of these pathways: (a) the vesicular nucleotide transporter VNUT (the product of the SLC17A9 gene), the ATP transporter mediating ATP storage in (and release from) mucin granules and secretory vesicles; and (b) the ATP conduit pannexin 1 expressed in non-mucous airway epithelial cells. We further illustrate that ablation of pannexin 1 reduces, at least in part, airway surface liquid (ASL) volume production, ciliary beating, and MCC rates.

Abstract
Clearance of the airway is dependent on directional mucus flow across the mucociliary epithelium, and deficient flow is implicated in a range of human disorders. Efficient flow relies on proper polarization of the multiciliated cells and sufficient ciliary beat frequency. We show that NO, produced by nNOS in the multiciliated cells of the mouse trachea, controls both the planar polarity and the ciliary beat frequency and is thereby necessary for the generation of the robust flow. The effect of nNOS on the polarity of ciliated cells relies on its interactions with the apical networks of actin and microtubules and involves RhoA activation. The action of nNOS on the beat frequency is mediated by guanylate cyclase; both NO donors and cGMP can augment fluid flow in the trachea and rescue the deficient flow in nNOS mutants. Our results link insufficient availability of NO in ciliated cells to defects in flow and ciliary activity and may thereby explain the low levels of exhaled NO in ciliopathies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Asthma is a chronic immune disease that has become a serious public health problem. The currently available medications are not ideal because of their limitations and side effects; hence, new target proteins and signaling cascades for precise and safe therapy treatment are needed. This work established an ovalbumin-induced asthma rat model and treated it with total flavonoid extract from the Xinjiang chamomile. The proteins that were differentially expressed in the chamomile extract-treated asthmatic rats and the asthma and healthy rat groups were identified using isobaric tagging followed by LC-MS/MS. Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes pathway analysis of the differentially expressed proteins was performed. RESULTS Pathways involved in purine metabolism, herpes simplex infection, and JNK phosphorylation and activation mediated by activated human TAK1 were enriched, indicating the intrinsic links between the mechanism of asthma development and treatment effects. Furthermore, we constructed a protein-protein interaction network and identified KIF3A as a potential target protein of chamomile extract that affected the Hedgehog signaling pathway. CONCLUSIONS This study may provide new insights into the pathogenesis of asthma and reveal several proteins and pathways that could be exploited to develop novel treatment approaches.

Abstract
Malignant transformation of cells is often accompanied by the loss of the primary cilium, a protruding microtubule-based sensory organelle, suggesting that it plays an “onco-suppressive” role. Therefore, restoration of the primary cilium is being explored as a new therapeutic approach to attenuate tumor growth. Recently, several commonly used chemotherapeutic drugs have been identified to induce the primary cilium in pancreatic cancer cells. The mechanisms by which these drugs re-express the cilium remain, however, enigmatic. Here, evaluation of a panel of diverse ciliogenic drugs on pancreatic cancer cell models revealed a significant positive relationship between drug-induced extracellular ATP, released through pannexin channels, and the extent of primary cilium induction. Moreover, cilium induction by these drugs was hampered in the presence of the ATP degrading enzyme, apyrase, and in the presence of the pan-purinergic receptor inhibitor, suramin. Our findings reveal that ciliogenic drug-induced re-expression of the primary cilium in pancreatic cancer cells is, at least in certain contexts, dependent on a hitherto unrecognized autocrine/paracrine loop involving the extracellular ATP-purinergic receptor signaling pathway that can be exploited in a therapeutic approach targeting at restoring the primary cilium.

Abstract
The development of cancer is often accompanied by a loss of the primary cilium, a microtubule-based cellular protrusion that functions as a cellular antenna and that puts a break on cell proliferation. Hence, restoration of the primary cilium in cancer cells may represent a novel promising approach to attenuate tumor growth. Using a high content analysis-based approach we screened a library of clinically evaluated compounds and marketed drugs for their ability to restore primary cilium expression in pancreatic ductal cancer cells. A diverse set of 118 compounds stimulating cilium expression was identified. These included glucocorticoids, fibrates and other nuclear receptor modulators, neurotransmitter regulators, ion channel modulators, tyrosine kinase inhibitors, DNA gyrase/topoisomerase inhibitors, antibacterial compounds, protein inhibitors, microtubule modulators, and COX inhibitors. Certain compounds also dramatically affected the length of the cilium. For a selection of compounds (Clofibrate, Gefitinib, Sirolimus, Imexon and Dexamethasone) their ability to restore ciliogenesis was confirmed in a panel of human cancer cell line models representing different cancer types (pancreas, lung, kidney, breast). Most compounds attenuated cell proliferation, at least in part through induction of the primary cilium, as demonstrated by cilium removal using chloral hydrate. These findings reveal that several commonly used drugs restore ciliogenesis in cancer cells, and warrant further investigation of their antineoplastic properties.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cilia in the human respiratory tract play a critical role in clearing mucus and debris from the airways. Their function can be affected by a number of drugs or other substances, many of which alter ciliary beat frequency (CBF). This has implications for diseases of the respiratory tract and nasal drug delivery. This article is a systematic review of the literature that examines 229 substances and their effect on CBF. METHODS MEDLINE was the primary database used for data collection. Eligibility criteria based on experimental design were established, and 152 studies were ultimately selected. Each individual trial for the substances tested was noted whenever possible, including concentration, time course, specific effect on CBF, and source of tissue. RESULTS There was a high degree of heterogeneity between the various experiments examined in this article. Substances and their general effects (increase, no effect, decrease) were grouped into six categories: antimicrobials and antivirals, pharmacologics, human biological products, organisms and toxins, drug excipients, and natural compounds/other manipulations. CONCLUSION Organisms, toxins, and drug excipients tend to show a cilioinhibitory effect, whereas substances in all other categories had mixed effects. All studies examined were in vitro experiments, and application of the results in vivo is confounded by several factors. The data presented in this article should be useful in future respiratory research and examination of compounds for therapeutic and drug delivery purposes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Determine the toxicity and efficacy of a novel antiprotease topical irrigation, polyhydrated ionogen (PHI) ± MgBr2, in improving sinonasal remucosalization following surgery. STUDY DESIGN Blinded, randomized controlled study. Setting. Academic. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Ciliary beat frequency (CBF) of murine nasal septal explants was continuously recorded before and after addition of PHI solution to asses for ciliotoxicity. To evaluate for efficacy in remucosalization, 9 New Zealand white rabbits underwent bilateral medial-wall maxillary mucosal stripping followed by placement of an indwelling irrigation catheter. In a randomized fashion one side received 3 mL of normal saline (NS) daily, whereas the contralateral side received PHI ± MgBr2. Following a 14-day therapeutic trial, remucosalization was assessed by hematoxylin and eosin staining and immunohistochemistry for β-tubulin, a marker of cilia. A semiquantitative grading of ciliated remucosalization was applied with a chi-square test to compare the saline with the PHI ± MgBr2 treatment. RESULTS Safety evaluation of the PHI solutions demonstrated no evidence of ciliotoxicity. Histologic semiquantitative analysis of maxillary sinus remucosalization demonstrated significantly more ciliated epithelium (>60%) in the majority of PHI (n = 4) and PHI with MgBr2 (n = 5) treatment compared with the saline treatment (<30%) (n = 9). This was confirmed with immunohistochemical staining for type IV β-tubulin a marker of respiratory cilia. CONCLUSIONS Success of functional endoscopic sinus surgery depends on restoration of normal mucociliary clearance. Topical PHI application has previously been demonstrated to significantly increase dermal wound healing. PHI solution is not ciliotoxic, and daily topical PHI or PHI MgBr2 irrigation enhances ciliated remucosalization compared with saline.

Abstract
Mucociliary clearance, characterized by mucus secretion and its conveyance by ciliary action, is a fundamental physiological process that plays an important role in host defense. Although it is known that ciliary activity changes with chemical and mechanical stimuli, the autoregulatory mechanisms that govern ciliary activity and mucus transport in response to normal and pathophysiological variations in mucus are not clear. We have developed a high-speed, 1-μm-resolution, cross-sectional imaging modality, termed micro-optical coherence tomography (μOCT), which provides the first integrated view of the functional microanatomy of the epithelial surface. We monitored invasion of the periciliary liquid (PCL) layer by mucus in fully differentiated human bronchial epithelial cultures and full thickness swine trachea using μOCT. We further monitored mucociliary transport (MCT) and intracellular calcium concentration simultaneously during invasion of the PCL layer by mucus using colocalized μOCT and confocal fluorescence microscopy in cell cultures. Ciliary beating and mucus transport are up-regulated via a calcium-dependent pathway when mucus causes a reduction in the PCL layer and cilia height. When the load exceeds a physiological limit of approximately 2 μm, this gravity-independent autoregulatory mechanism can no longer compensate, resulting in diminished ciliary motion and abrogation of stimulated MCT. A fundamental integrated mechanism with specific operating limits governs MCT in the lung and fails when periciliary layer compression and mucus viscosity exceeds normal physiologic limits.

Effects of histamine on ciliary beat frequency of ciliated cells from guinea pigs nasal mucosa. Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol 2014; 272:2839-45.

Abstract
We aimed to investigate the effect of histamine on ciliary beat frequency (CBF) through combining high-speed digital microscopy and patch-clamp technology. Ciliated cells were obtained from septum and turbinate of 90-120-day-old healthy male guinea pigs. Tight seal was formed by applying negative pressure on the glass electrode after the drawing and pushing progress. Then, we enrolled high-speed digital microscopy to measure CBF before and after treatment with histamine of different concentrations ranging from 10(-6) to 10(-1) mol/L in Hank's solution and D-Hank's solution as well as after administrating adenosine triphosphate. One-way ANOVA, Student's t test or Kruskal-Wallis test was used for statistical comparisons. Glass electrode fix up ciliated cell is available at tip diameter of 2-5 μm and negative pressure of 10-20 cmH2O column. The baseline CBF in Hank's solution was higher than in D-Hank's solution. Treatment with 10(-6)-l0(-3) mol/L histamine of concentrations can stimulate a rise of CBF. Nevertheless, CBF in all groups decreased to baseline CBF within 20 min. Generally, 10(-2) mol/L histamine can stimulate a rise of CBF; meanwhile, the high concentration of histamine killed 50% ciliated cell. Histamine at 10(-1) mol/L killed all ciliated cells. Ciliary beating activity decreased in Ca(2+)-free solution. Moreover, adenosine triphosphate could increase CBF effectively after the stimulation effect of histamine. We construct an effective technology integrating patch-clamp technique with CBF measurements on ciliated cells. Extracellular histamine stimulation could increase CBF effectively.

Abstract
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) afflicts up to 2 million people annually in the United States and is the primary cause of death and disability in young adults and children. Previous TBI studies have focused predominantly on the morphological, biochemical, and functional alterations of gray matter structures, such as the hippocampus. However, little attention has been given to the brain ventricular system, despite the fact that altered ventricular function is known to occur in brain pathologies. In the present study, we investigated anatomical and functional alterations to mouse ventricular cilia that result from mild TBI. We demonstrate that TBI causes a dramatic decrease in cilia. Further, using a particle tracking technique, we demonstrate that cerebrospinal fluid flow is diminished, thus potentially negatively affecting waste and nutrient exchange. Interestingly, injury-induced ventricular system pathology resolves completely by 30 days after injury as ependymal cell ciliogenesis restores cilia density to uninjured levels in the affected lateral ventricle.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF THE STUDY Many blinding diseases of the inner retina are associated with degeneration and loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). Recent evidence implicates several new signaling mechanisms as causal agents associated with RGC injury and remodeling of the optic nerve head. Ion channels such as Transient receptor potential vanilloid isoform 4 (TRPV4), pannexin-1 (Panx1) and P2X7 receptor are localized to RGCs and act as potential sensors and effectors of mechanical strain, ischemia and inflammatory responses. Under normal conditions, TRPV4 may function as an osmosensor and a polymodal molecular integrator of diverse mechanical and chemical stimuli, whereas P2X7R and Panx1 respond to stretch- and/or swelling-induced adenosine triphosphate release from neurons and glia. Ca(2+) influx, induced by stimulation of mechanosensitive ion channels in glaucoma, is proposed to influence dendritic and axonal remodeling that may lead to RGC death while (at least initially) sparing other classes of retinal neuron. The secondary phase of the retinal glaucoma response is associated with microglial activation and an inflammatory response involving Toll-like receptors (TLRs), cluster of differentiation 3 (CD3) immune recognition molecules associated with the T-cell antigen receptor, complement molecules and cell type-specific release of neuroactive cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β). The retinal response to mechanical stress thus involves a diversity of signaling pathways that sense and transduce mechanical strain and orchestrate both protective and destructive secondary responses. CONCLUSIONS Mechanistic understanding of the interaction between pressure-dependent and independent pathways is only beginning to emerge. This review focuses on the molecular basis of mechanical strain transduction as a primary mechanism that can damage RGCs. The damage occurs through Ca(2+)-dependent cellular remodeling and is associated with parallel activation of secondary ischemic and inflammatory signaling pathways. Molecules that mediate these mechanosensory and immune responses represent plausible targets for protecting ganglion cells in glaucoma, optic neuritis and retinal ischemia.

Abstract
Innate and adaptive defense mechanisms protect the respiratory system from attack by microbes. Here, we present evidence that the bitter taste receptor T2R38 regulates the mucosal innate defense of the human upper airway. Utilizing immunofluorescent and live cell imaging techniques in polarized primary human sinonasal cells, we demonstrate that T2R38 is expressed in human upper respiratory epithelium and is activated in response to acyl-homoserine lactone quorum-sensing molecules secreted by Pseudomonas aeruginosa and other gram-negative bacteria. Receptor activation regulates calcium-dependent NO production, resulting in stimulation of mucociliary clearance and direct antibacterial effects. Moreover, common polymorphisms of the TAS2R38 gene were linked to significant differences in the ability of upper respiratory cells to clear and kill bacteria. Lastly, TAS2R38 genotype correlated with human sinonasal gram-negative bacterial infection. These data suggest that T2R38 is an upper airway sentinel in innate defense and that genetic variation contributes to individual differences in susceptibility to respiratory infection.

Abstract
Evidence for a significant role and impact of purinergic signaling in normal and diseased airways is now beyond dispute. The present review intends to provide the current state of knowledge of the involvement of purinergic pathways in the upper and lower airways and lungs, thereby differentiating the involvement of different tissues, such as the epithelial lining, immune cells, airway smooth muscle, vasculature, peripheral and central innervation, and neuroendocrine system. In addition to the vast number of well illustrated functions for purinergic signaling in the healthy respiratory tract, increasing data pointing to enhanced levels of ATP and/or adenosine in airway secretions of patients with airway damage and respiratory diseases corroborates the emerging view that purines act as clinically important mediators resulting in either proinflammatory or protective responses. Purinergic signaling has been implicated in lung injury and in the pathogenesis of a wide range of respiratory disorders and diseases, including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, inflammation, cystic fibrosis, lung cancer, and pulmonary hypertension. These ostensibly enigmatic actions are based on widely different mechanisms, which are influenced by the cellular microenvironment, but especially the subtypes of purine receptors involved and the activity of distinct members of the ectonucleotidase family, the latter being potential protein targets for therapeutic implementation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cilia are complex and powerful cellular structures of the respiratory mucosa that play a critical role in airway defense. Respiratory epithelium is lined with cilia that perform an integrated and coordinated mechanism called mucociliary clearance. Mucociliary clearance is the process by which cilia transport the mucus blanket overlying respiratory mucosa to the gastrointestinal tract for ingestion. It is the primary means by which the airway clears pathogens, allergens, debris, and toxins. The complex structure and regulatory mechanisms that dictate the form and function of normal cilia are not entirely understood, but it is clear that ciliary dysfunction results in impaired respiratory defense. METHODS A literature review of the current knowledge of cilia dysfunction in chronic rhinosinsusitis was conducted. RESULTS Ciliary dysfunction may be primary, the result of genetic mutations resulting in abnormal cilia structure, or, more commonly, secondary, the result of environmental, infectious, or inflammatory stimuli that disrupt normal motility or coordination. Patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) have been found to have impaired mucociliary clearance. Many biochemical, environmental, and mechanical stimuli have been shown to influence ciliary beat frequency, and common microbial pathogens of respiratory mucosa such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Haemophilus influenzae have developed toxins that appear to interrupt normal mucociliary function. Furthermore, inflammatory mediators known to be present in patients with CRS appear to impair secondarily mucociliary clearance. CONCLUSION The goal of this article is to summarize the recent developments in the understanding of cilia dysfunction and mucociliary clearance in CRS.

Abstract
The transport of the oocyte and the embryo in the oviduct is managed by ciliary beating and muscular contractions. Because nonneuronally produced acetylcholine influences ciliary beating in the trachea via the muscarinic receptors M2 and M3, we supposed that components of the cholinergic system may also modulate ciliary activity in the oviduct. To address this issue, we analyzed the expression profile of muscarinic receptors (CHRMs) in the murine oviduct by RT-PCR and assessed ciliary beat frequency (CBF) and cilia-driven particle transport speed (PTS) on the mucosal surface of opened oviductal segments in correlation with histomorphological investigations. RT-PCR of laser-assisted microdissected epithelium revealed expression of Chrm subtypes Chrm1 and Chrm3. In opened isthmic segments, particle transport was barely seen, correlating with a significantly lower number of ciliated cells compared to the ampulla. In the ampulla, basal PTS and CBF were high (71 μm/sec and 21 Hz, respectively) both in cycling and pregnant wild-type mice and in mice with targeted deletion of the Chrm genes Chrm1, Chrm3, Chrm4, and Chrm5. In contrast to the trachea, where basal ciliary activity was low and largely enhanced by muscarinic stimulation, muscarinic agonists and antagonists did not affect the high ampullar PTS. Our results imply that this high oviductal autonomous ciliary activity is independent from the intrinsic cholinergic system and serves to maintain optimal clearance of the tube throughout all stages of the estrous cycle and early pregnancy.

Abstract
Our purpose was to evaluate the effect of the mechanical force of a sneeze on sinonasal cilia function and determine the molecular mechanism responsible for eliciting the ciliary response to a sneeze. A novel model was developed to deliver a stimulation simulating a sneeze (55 mmHg for 50 ms) at 26°C to the apical surface of mouse and human nasal epithelial cells. Ciliary beating was visualized, and changes in ciliary beat frequency (CBF) were determined. To interrogate the molecular cascades driving sneeze-induced changes of CBF, pharmacologic manipulation of intra- and extracellular calcium, purinergic, PKA, and nitric oxide (NO) signaling were performed. CBF rapidly increases by ≥150% in response to a sneeze, which is dependent on the release of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), calcium influx, and PKA activation. Furthermore, apical release of ATP is independent of calcium influx, but calcium influx and subsequent increase in CBF are dependent on the ATP release. Lastly, we observed a blunted ciliary response in surgical specimens derived from patients with chronic rhinosinusitis compared to control patients. Apical ATP release with subsequent calcium mobilization and PKA activation are involved in sinonasal ciliary response to sneezing, which is blunted in patients with upper-airway disease.

Abstract
Mechanical deformation produces complex effects on neuronal systems, some of which can lead to dysfunction and neuronal death. While astrocytes are known to respond to mechanical forces, it is not clear whether neurons can also respond directly. We examined mechanosensitive ATP release and the physiological response to this release in isolated retinal ganglion cells. Purified ganglion cells released ATP upon swelling. Release was blocked by carbenoxolone, probenecid or peptide (10)panx, implicating pannexin channels as conduits. Mechanical stretch of retinal ganglion cells also triggered a pannexin-dependent ATP release. Whole cell patch clamp recording demonstrated that mild swelling induced the activation of an Ohmic cation current with linear kinetics. The current was inhibited by removal of extracellular ATP with apyrase, by inhibition of the P2X(7) receptor with A438079, zinc, or AZ 10606120, and by pannexin blockers carbenoxolone and probenecid. Probenecid also inhibited the regulatory volume decrease observed after swelling isolated neurons. Together, these observations indicate mechanical strain triggers ATP release directly from retinal ganglion cells and that this released ATP autostimulates P2X(7) receptors. Since extracellular ATP levels in the retina increase with elevated intraocular pressure, and stimulation of P2X(7) receptors on retinal ganglion cells can be lethal, this autocrine response may impact ganglion cells in glaucoma. It remains to be determined whether the autocrine stimulation of purinergic receptors is a general response to a mechanical deformation in neurons, or whether preventing ATP release through pannexin channels and blocking activation of the P2X(7) receptor, is neuroprotective for stretched neurons.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inhalation of hypertonic saline and mannitol improve mucociliary clearance in patients with bronchiectasis, but little is known about how the relative osmotic strengths of these compounds affect ciliary beat frequency (CBF) of ciliated human bronchial epithelial cells (HBEC). Our aim was to compare in vitro the direct effects of osmotically equivalent solutions on CBF of HBEC. METHODS HBEC were acutely (10, 30 min) exposed to comparable osmolar solutions of saline (0.03-0.48%), mannitol (0.19-3%) and dextran (10%-39.39%). Effects of higher % solutions, reversibility of responses, and prolonged treatments (15-20 h) were also compared. CBF was measured using digital videomicroscopy at baseline and at all time points. RESULTS CBF of HBEC increased significantly after acute exposure to mannitol (0.19%, 0.38%), decreased with dextran and remained unchanged with saline. Prolonged exposure to mannitol at high (3%, 6%) osmolar concentrations reversibly suppressed CBF. In comparison, acute and prolonged treatment with 39.39% dextran (equivalent to 3% mannitol) reduced CBF irreversibly. Furthermore, acute and prolonged treatment with 1% saline (equivalent to 6% mannitol) suppressed CBF with only the acute effect being reversible. CONCLUSIONS Mannitol had a direct osmolarity-independent cilio-stimulatory effect at lower % solutions and a reversible cilio-inhibitory effect at higher % solutions, and prolonged exposure to mannitol inhibited CBF reversibly. Both the acute and prolonged effects of mannitol compared to dextran and saline on CBF of HBEC in vitro, imply a unique mechanism of action for mannitol on ciliary beating and might contribute to the improved clearance observed in mannitol-treated patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sinonasal mucosal biofilms are recognized as contributors to the pathogenesis of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). Attachment of bacteria to the sinonasal surface is an initial step in biofilm formation. A critical defense against this occurrence is mucociliary clearance (MCC). To ascertain whether the ciliary component of MCC is uniform throughout the airway we compared ciliary beat frequency (CBF) in the murine nasal septum and trachea at baseline and after challenge with Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a common pathogen of CRS. METHODS Murine septal and tracheal air-liquid interface cultures were evaluated for basal and stimulated CBF after exposure to control or conditioned media from Pseudomonas. Additionally, the attachment of Pseudomonas to nasal and tracheal cultures was assessed after pretreatment with control or conditioned media. RESULTS Basal CBF is significantly slower in primary nasal airway cultures compared with tracheal airway cultures. Tracheal airway cultures show resistance to Pseudomonas secreted ciliotoxins not evident in nasal septal cultures. Furthermore, after challenge with viable Pseudomonas, significantly more bacteria attach to the nasal cultures compared with the tracheal cultures. CONCLUSION Using primary murine nasal and tracheal airway cultures we show inherent differences in cilia function and increased susceptibility of the upper airway to attachment by Pseudomonas. Understanding the differences between upper and subglottic airway mucociliary clearance should lead to novel approaches in the management of upper airway infection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There have been few studies about the effect of histamine on ciliary beat frequency (CBF) in the acute phase of allergic rhinitis. OBJECTIVE The present study was designed to investigate CBF in the acute phase of allergic rhinitis and the effect of histamine on CBF. MATERIALS AND METHODS Nasal septal mucosae were obtained from 13 mice that had been systemically immunized and locally challenged with ovalbumin (OVA) (group A), 11 OVA immunized and phosphate-buffered saline-challenged mice (group B), and 12 nontreated negative control mice (group C). The CBFs were observed within 20 minutes of local challenge with OVA. Ciliary beat frequencies were measured before and after treatment with 10(-5), 10(-3), and 10(-1) mol/L histamine and after administering antihistamine or Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium to histamine-exposed mucosa. RESULTS The baseline CBF in group A was higher than in groups B and C. After treatment with 10(-1) mol/L histamine, CBF in all groups decreased to 0 within 5 to 7 minutes, whereas treatment with 10(-5) or 10(-3) mol/L histamine had no effect. The application of 100 μmol/L fexofenadine or Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium solution restored histamine-induced ciliostasis to near baseline CBF after 10 minutes. CONCLUSIONS Ciliary beat frequency increased in the acute phase of a mouse model of allergic rhinitis. Physiologic concentrations of histamine had no effect on CBF, and thus, it appears that other mechanisms control CBF in the acute phase of allergic rhinitis.

Abstract
Motile cilia in the airway epithelium are the engine for mucociliary clearance, the mechanism responsible for cleaning the airways from inhaled particles. Human airway epithelial cilia appear to have a slow constitutive rate of beating, driven by inherent and spontaneous dynein ATPase activity. Additionally, cilia can increase their beating frequency by activation of several different control mechanisms. One of these controllers is calcium. Its intracellular concentration is regulated by purinergic and acetylcholine receptors. Besides the rate regulatory effect of calcium on ciliary beat, calcium is also involved in synchronizing the beat among cilia of one single cell as well as between cilia on different cells. This article gives an overview of the complex effects of calcium on the beating of motile cilia in the airways.

Abstract
A hysteresis model is proposed to describe calcium-mediated Ciliary beat frequency (CBF) in airway epithelial cells. In this dynamic model, the kinetics of coupling between calcium and CBF is posited as a two-step configuration. First, Ca²+ directly binds to or indirectly acts on the axonemal proteins to modulate the activity of axonemal proteins. This step can be modeled by a Hill function in biochemistry. In the second step, the activity of axonemal proteins interacts with the sliding velocity of axonemal microtubules, the equivalent to regulating the CBF. The well-known Bouc-Wen model for hysteresis in mechanical engineering, which can only generate the stable clockwise hysteresis loops, is modified to describe the counter clockwise hysteresis loops commonly observed in the biological experiments. Based upon this new hysteresis model, the dynamic behavior of calcium-regulated CBF in epithelial airway cells is investigated through simulation studies. The numerical results demonstrate that the CBF dynamics in airway epithelial cells predicted by the hysteresis model is more consistent with the experimental observations than that predicted by previous static model in the literature.

Abstract
Cilia are complex and powerful cellular structures that serve a multitude of functions across many types of organisms. In humans, one of the most critical roles of cilia is defense of the airway. The respiratory epithelium is lined with cilia that normally carry out an integrated and coordinated mechanism called mucociliary clearance. Mucociliary clearance, the process by which cilia transport the viscous mucus blanket of the upper airway to the gastrointestinal tract, is the primary means by which the upper airway clears itself of pathogens, allergens, debris, and toxins. The complex structure and regulatory mechanisms that dictate the form and function of normal cilia are not entirely understood, but it is clear that ciliary dysfunction results in impaired respiratory defense. Ciliary dysfunction may be primary, the result of genetic mutations resulting in abnormal cilia structure, or secondary, the result of environmental, infectious or inflammatory stimuli that disrupt normal motility or coordination.

Abstract
Airway epithelium has been shown to elicit fluid secretion after a rise in intracellular calcium. This rise in intracellular calcium has been shown to display complex oscillations in many species after the binding of particular agonists to extracellular receptors. Fluid secreted by the airway epithelium is used to maintain the depth of the periciliary liquid (PCL) above the apical membrane of the epithelial cells lining the bronchial airways. Previous mathematical models have been published which separately consider the electrophysiology involved in regulating periciliary liquid depth, and the transmission of intracellular calcium waves in airway epithelial tissue. In this paper we present a mathematical model that combines these previous models and allows the effect of oscillations in intracellular calcium on fluid secretion by airway epithelial cells to be investigated. We show that an oscillatory calcium response produces different fluid secretion properties to that elicited by a tonic rise in intracellular calcium. These differences are shown to be due to saturation of the Ca(2+) activated ion channels.

Abstract
Chronic rhinosinusitis is a common disease resulting from inflammation of the sinonasal mucosa. It has long been recognized that patients with chronic rhinosinusitis have impaired capacity to clear sinonasal secretions. However, the cause of this pathologic process is not well understood. In this article the components of mucociliary clearance, including cilia, mucus production, and cilia beat frequency, are reviewed and alterations of the system discussed regarding contribution to the disease process.

Abstract
Motile cilia are unique multimotor systems that display coordination and periodicity while imparting forces to biological fluids. They play important roles in normal physiology, and ciliopathies are implicated in a growing number of human diseases. In this work we measure the response of individual human airway cilia to calibrated forces transmitted via spot-labeled magnetic microbeads. Cilia respond to applied forces by 1), a reduction in beat amplitude (up to an 85% reduction by 160-170 pN of force); 2), a decreased tip velocity proportionate to applied force; and 3), no significant change in beat frequency. Tip velocity reduction occurred in each beat direction, independently of the direction of applied force, indicating that the cilium is "driven" in both directions at all times. By applying a quasistatic force model, we deduce that axoneme stiffness is dominated by the rigidity of the microtubules, and that cilia can exert 62 +/- 18 pN of force at the tip via the generation of 5.6 +/- 1.6 pN/dynein head.

Abstract
Background Dynamic regulation of respiratory ciliary beat frequency (CBF) is regulated by fluxes in intracellular calcium (Ca2+). P2X receptors (P2XR) are extracellular ATP-gated, Ca2+-permeable, nonselective cation channels. Zinc increases intracellular Ca2+ in a sodium (Na+)-free environment through activation of P2XR channels. We hypothesize that topical zinc increases CBF in a Ca2+-dependent fashion as a result of this mechanism. Methods The apical surface of mouse sinonasal air–liquid interface cultures were bathed in zinc in a Na+-free solution with or without Ca2+. High-speed digital video imaging captured and analyzed CBF at a sampling rate of 100 frames/s. Results CBF significantly increased fourfold over baseline from 5.99 ± 3.16 Hz to 22.4 ± 4.33 Hz in the presence of zinc chloride (50 micromoles) and calcium chloride (3 mM). This effect is abolished in the presence of extracellular Na+ and was pH dependent. Conclusions Zinc stimulates CBF in the presence of Ca2+ likely through activation of P2X receptors. Thus, zinc represents a promising agent for stimulation of mucociliary clearance.

Abstract
Exposure to cigarette smoke is associated with airway epithelial mucus cell hyperplasia and a decrease in cilia and ciliated cells. Few models have addressed the long-term effects of chronic cigarette smoke exposure on ciliated epithelial cells. Our previous in vitro studies showed that cigarette smoke decreases ciliary beat frequency (CBF) via the activation of protein kinase C (PKC). We hypothesized that chronic cigarette smoke exposure in an in vivo model would decrease airway epithelial cell ciliary beating in a PKC-dependent manner. We exposed C57BL/6 mice to whole-body cigarette smoke 2 hours/day, 5 days/week for up to 1 year. Tracheal epithelial cell CBF and the number of motile cells were measured after necropsy in cut tracheal rings, using high-speed digital video microscopy. Tracheal epithelial PKC was assayed according to direct kinase activity. At 6 weeks and 3 months of smoke exposure, the baseline CBF was slightly elevated (~1 Hz) versus control mice, with no change in β-agonist-stimulated CBF between control mice and cigarette smoke-exposed mice. By 6 months of smoke exposure, the baseline CBF was significantly decreased (2-3 Hz) versus control mice, and a β-agonist failed to stimulate increased CBF. The loss of β-agonist-increased CBF continued at 9 months and 12 months of smoke exposure, and the baseline CBF was significantly decreased to less than one third of the control rate. In addition to CBF, ciliated cell numbers significantly decreased in response to smoke over time, with a significant loss of tracheal ciliated cells occurring between 6 and 12 months. In parallel with the slowing of CBF, significant PKC activation from cytosol to the membrane of tracheal epithelial cells was detected in mice exposed to smoke for 6-12 months.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Although the pathophysiology leading to rhinosinusitis is complex, evidence indicates that decreased mucociliary clearance (MCC) is a major contributing feature. Normal respiratory epithelial MCC is an important host defense mechanism that is dependent on proper ciliary beating and the biological properties of the airway surface liquid (ASL). The role that tobacco smoke exposure plays as an inhibitor of MCC has yet to be elucidated. The present study investigates the consequences of cigarette smoke exposure on ciliary function and transepithelial chloride (Cl(-)) secretion, a major determinant of ASL. STUDY DESIGN In vitro investigation. METHODS Well-characterized primary murine nasal septal epithelial (MNSE) and human sinonasal epithelial (HSNE) cultures were exposed to cigarette smoke condensate (CSC) and compared to control cultures. Effects on ciliary beat frequency (CBF) and Cl(-) secretion were investigated using pharmacologic manipulation. RESULTS Change in forskolin-stimulated current (DeltaI(SC)), representing transepithelial Cl(-) secretion, was significantly decreased in CSC exposed MNSE (14.97 +/- 1.2 microA/cm(2) vs. control, 19.1 +/- 1.56 microA/cm(2) [P = .04]) and HSNE (2.68 +/- 0.79 muA/cm(2) vs. control, 10.8 +/- 1.73 microA/cm(2)) cultures (P = .001). Forskolin-stimulated CBF was also significantly reduced when acutely exposed to CSC (5.64 +/- 0.06 Hz vs. control 7.15 +/- 0.18 Hz). CONCLUSIONS The present study provides direct evidence that tobacco smoke diminishes two major components of MCC. This links tobacco smoke as a potential contributing and/or exacerbating factor in exposed individuals with chronic rhinosinusitis.

Abstract
Flagellar beating in Chlamydomonas was found to be activated by mechanical stimulation. Immediately after a wild-type cell suspension was vortexed, the average swimming velocity of cells increased from 130 mum/second to 150 mum/second, due to an elevation of flagellar beat frequency from approximately 60 Hz to approximately 70 Hz without detectable change in the flagellar waveforms. This response required outer arm dynein. Treatment with EGTA, Ca(2+)-channel blockers, or mechanosensitive-channel blockers inhibited it. In demembranated and reactivated cell models, a modest increase in Ca(2+) concentration elevated the axonemal beat frequency. These data indicate that the mechanical agitation increases beat frequency because it causes Ca(2+) influx into flagella, which then activates outer arm dynein.

Abstract
Regulation of periciliary liquid (PCL) depth is of central importance to mucociliary clearance by the airway epithelium. Without adequate hydration mucociliary transport would cease, leading to build up of mucus in the airways, and impairing the clearance of any trapped inhaled particulates. Airway epithelial cells are known to release ATP under a number of stress conditions. Cell surface receptors bind ATP and trigger an intracellular calcium response which regulates the gating of specific ion channels on the apical and basolateral cell membranes. This shifts the electrochemical balance, resulting in the accumulation of Na(+) and Cl(-) in the periciliary liquid, and providing an osmotic driving force for water flux. In this study, we present a mathematical model of a single airway epithelial cell which describes the fluid secretion elicited after a rise in intracellular calcium. The model provides a basis to quantitatively analyse the influence of intracellular calcium signalling on fluid movement. The model demonstrates behaviour consistent with a number of experimental data on manipulating periciliary liquid volume and tonicity, and provides a quantitative basis for analysing the role of the different membrane ion channels in determining water flux following different physiological stimuli.

Abstract
Mucociliary clearance in the adult trachea is well characterized, but there are limited data in newborns. Cilia-generated flow was quantified across longitudinal sections of mouse trachea from birth through postnatal day (PND) 28 by tracking fluorescent microsphere speed and directionality. The percentage of ciliated tracheal epithelial cells, as determined by immunohistochemistry, was shown to increase linearly between PND 0 and PND 21 (R(2) = 0.94). While directionality measurements detected patches of flow starting at PND 3, uniform flow across the epithelia was not observed until PND 7 at a approximately 35% ciliated cell density. Flow became established at a maximal rate at PND 9 and beyond. A linear correlation was observed between the percentage of ciliated cells versus flow speed (R(2) = 0.495) and directionality (R(2) = 0.975) between PND 0 and PND 9. Cilia beat frequency (CBF) was higher at PND 0 than at all subsequent time points, but cilia beat waveform was not noticeably different. Tracheal epithelia from a mouse model of primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) harboring a Mdnah5 mutation showed that ciliated cell density was unaffected, but no cilia-generated flow was detected. Cilia in mutant airways were either immotile or with slow dyssynchronous beat and abnormal ciliary waveform. Overall, our studies showed that the initiation of cilia-generated flow is directly correlated with an increase in epithelial ciliation, with the measurement of directionality being more sensitive than speed for detecting flow. The higher CBF observed in newborn epithelia suggests unique physiology in the newborn trachea, indicating possible clinical relevance to the pathophysiology of respiratory distress seen in newborn PCD patients.

Abstract
Nucleotides and nucleosides within the airway surface liquid regulate mucociliary clearance (MCC) activities, the primary innate defense mechanism that removes foreign particles and pathogens from airway surfaces. Nucleotide and nucleoside actions in the airways are mediated mainly by two purinergic receptor subtypes, the Gq-coupled ATP/UTP-sensing P2Y2 receptor and the Gs-coupled A2b adenosine receptor. Activation of the A2b receptor results in cyclic AMP-dependent activation of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR) Cl- channel and stimulation of ciliary beat frequency. Agonist occupation of the P2Y2 receptor promotes inhibition of Na+ absorption as well as CFTR-dependent and CFTR-independent Cl- secretion, ciliary beating, and mucin secretion.

Abstract
Ciliary beating of airway epithelial cells drives the removal of mucus and particles from the airways. Mucociliary transport and possibly airway epithelial development are governed by muscarinic acetylcholine receptors but the precise roles of the subtypes involved are unknown. This issue was addressed by determining cilia-driven particle transport, ciliary beat frequency, and the composition and ultrastructural morphology of the tracheal epithelium in M1-M5 muscarinic receptor gene-deficient mice. Knockout of M3 muscarinic receptors prevented an increase in particle transport speed and ciliary beat frequency in response to muscarine. Furthermore, the ATP response after application of muscarine was blunted. Pretreatment with atropine before application of muscarine restored the response to ATP. Additional knockout of the M2 receptor in these mice partially restored the muscarine effect, most likely through the M1 receptor, and normalised the ATP response. M1, M4 and M5 receptor-deficient mice exhibited normal responses to muscarine. None of the investigated mutant mouse strains had any impairment of epithelial cellular structure or composition. In conclusion, M3 receptors stimulate whereas M2 receptors inhibit cilia-driven particle transport. The M1 receptor increases cilia-driven particle transport if the M3 and M2 receptors are missing. None of the receptors is necessary for epithelial development.

Abstract
The coordinated, directional beating of airway cilia drives airway mucociliary clearance. Here we explore the hypothesis that airway surface liquid osmolarity is a key regulator of ciliary beating. Cilia in freshly isolated human and murine airways visualized with streaming video-microscopy exhibited a reciprocal dependence on a physiological range of luminal fluid osmolarities, across the entire range of ciliary activity (0-20 beats per sec). Increasing osmolarity slowed or completely abrogated, while lower osmolarity dramatically stimulated ciliary beating. In parallel, epithelial cell height and importantly, intracellular calcium levels (as judged by fluorescence imaging) also changed. Moreover, ciliary beating was stimulated by isosmotic solutions containing membrane permeant osmolytes, suggesting that cell size and membrane stretch (governed by apical fluid tonicity), rather than osmolarity itself, contribute to the activation. These findings shed light on the pathophysiology of diseases of mucociliary clearance such as cystic fibrosis and other chronic inflammatory lung diseases.

Abstract
Effective clearance of mucus is a critical innate airway defense mechanism, and under appropriate conditions, can be stimulated to enhance clearance of inhaled pathogens. It has become increasingly clear that extracellular nucleotides (ATP and UTP) and nucleosides (adenosine) are important regulators of mucus clearance in the airways as a result of their ability to stimulate fluid secretion, mucus hydration, and cilia beat frequency (CBF). One ubiquitous mechanism to stimulate ATP release is through external mechanical stress. This article addresses the role of physiologically relevant mechanical forces in the lung and their effects on regulating mucociliary clearance (MCC). The effects of mechanical forces on the stimulating ATP release, fluid secretion, CBF, and MCC are discussed. Also discussed is evidence suggesting that airway hydration and stimulation of MCC by stress-mediated ATP release may play a role in several therapeutic strategies directed at improving mucus clearance in patients with obstructive lung diseases, including cystic fibrosis (CF) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Abstract
The mucociliary clearance system is comprised of three components, ion transport activities controlling the height of airway surface liquid (ASL), mucin secretion, and ciliary activity. These activities in humans are controlled principally by local agonists, extracellular nucleotides and nucleosides released from the epithelium. Importantly, mechanical stresses stimulate goblet cell mucin secretion, ciliary beating, and Cl- and fluid secretion through mechanically induced nucleotide release. Emerging evidence also implicates co-secretion of nucleotides and mucin from goblet cells as a source of extracellular agonist. At rest, ATP is released onto airway surfaces at approximately 370fmol/mincm2, but only approximately 3% of released ATP is recovered in ASL. Secreted UTP meets with a similar fate. A wide variety of hydrolytic and transphosphorylating ecto-enzymes convert the triphosphate nucleotides into ADP, AMP, and adenosine, UDP, UMP, and uridine. Of these, ATP, adenosine, UTP, and UDP act as agonists at apical P2Y2 (ATP, UTP), P2Y6 (UDP), and A2B (adenosine) receptors on ciliated and/or goblet cells to regulate mucociliary clearance.

Abstract
Calcium-dependent potassium channels are implicated in electrolyte transport, cell volume regulation and mechanical responses in epithelia, although the pathways for calcium entry and their coupling to the activation of potassium channels are not fully understood. We now show molecular evidence for the presence of TRPV4, a calcium permeable channel sensitive to osmotic and mechanical stress, and its functional coupling to the large conductance calcium-dependent potassium channel (BK(Ca)) in a human bronchial epithelial cell line (HBE). Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction, intracellular calcium imaging and whole-cell patch-clamp experiments using HBE cells demonstrated the presence of TRPV4 messenger and Ca(2+) entry, and outwardly rectifying cationic currents elicited by the TRPV4 specific activator 4alpha-phorbol 12,13-didecanoate (4alphaPDD). Cell-attached and whole-cell patch-clamp of HBE cells exposed to 4alphaPDD, and hypotonic and high-viscosity solutions (related to mechanical stress) revealed the activation of BK(Ca) channels subsequent to extracellular Ca(2+) influx via TRPV4, an effect lost upon antisense-mediated knock-down of TRPV4. Further analysis of BK(Ca) modulation after TRPV4 activation showed that the Ca(2+) signal can be generated away from the BK(Ca) location at the plasma membrane, and it is not mediated by intracellular Ca(2+) release via ryanodine receptors. Finally, we have shown that, unlike the reported disengagement of TRPV4 and BK(Ca) in response to hypotonic solutions, cystic fibrosis bronchial epithelial cells (CFBE) preserve the functional coupling of TRPV4 and BK(Ca) in response to high-viscous solutions.

Abstract
Mechanical and osmotic sensitivity of the transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) channel depends on phospholipase A2 (PLA2) activation and the subsequent production of the arachidonic acid metabolites, epoxyeicosatrienoic acid (EET). We show that both high viscous loading and hypotonicity stimuli in native ciliated epithelial cells use PLA2–EET as the primary pathway to activate TRPV4. Under conditions of low PLA2 activation, both also use extracellular ATP-mediated activation of phospholipase C (PLC)–inositol trisphosphate (IP3) signaling to support TRPV4 gating. IP3, without being an agonist itself, sensitizes TRPV4 to EET in epithelial ciliated cells and cells heterologously expressing TRPV4, an effect inhibited by the IP3 receptor antagonist xestospongin C. Coimmunoprecipitation assays indicated a physical interaction between TRPV4 and IP3 receptor 3. Collectively, our study suggests a functional coupling between plasma membrane TRPV4 channels and intracellular store Ca2+ channels required to initiate and maintain the oscillatory Ca2+ signal triggered by high viscosity and hypotonic stimuli that do not reach a threshold level of PLA2 activation.

Abstract
As the interface with the outside world, the airway epithelial barrier is critical to lung defense. Because of respiratory efforts, the airways are exposed to shear stress; however, little is known regarding the effects of shear on epithelial function. We report that low-level shear stress enhances epithelial barrier function, an effect that requires serial activation of the transient receptor potential vanilloid (TRPV) 4 and L-type voltage-gated calcium channel (VGCC) and an increase in intracellular calcium. These changes lead to a selective decrease in aquaporin-5 (AQP5) abundance because of protein internalization and degradation. To determine whether AQP5 plays a role in mediating the shear effects on paracellular permeability, we overexpressed hAQP5 in 16HBE cells, an airway epithelial cell line without endogenous AQP5. We found that AQP5 expression was needed for shear-induced barrier enhancement. These findings have direct relevance to the regulation of epithelial barrier function, membrane permeability, and water homeostasis in the respiratory epithelia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a common disease with several known extrarenal manifestations, although no known pulmonary features. The formation of renal cysts in ADPKD has been attributed to dysfunction of primary cilia and the primary cilia-related proteins polycystin-1 (in 85% of cases) and polycystin-2 in renal epithelial cells. The goals of this study were to characterize the normal expression of polycystin-1 in the motile cilia of airway epithelial cells and to evaluate lung structure in ADPKD patients. METHODS Airway epithelium from non-ADPKD patients was immunostained to localize polycystin-1 expression, and lung tissue from ADPKD patients was examined for pathologic changes. CT scans from ADPKD patients (n = 95) and a control group of non-ADPKD chronic kidney disease patients (n = 95) were retrospectively reviewed for the presence of bronchiectasis using defined criteria. RESULTS Immunostaining revealed polycystin-1 expression in the motile cilia of non-ADPKD airway epithelial cells. Lung tissue from one of five available ADPKD patient autopsies revealed histologic changes of bronchiectasis. Review of CT scans revealed a threefold-increased prevalence of bronchiectasis in the ADPKD group compared to the control group (37% vs 13%, p = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS ADPKD patients demonstrate an increased prevalence of radiographic bronchiectasis, a previously unrecognized manifestation of the disease. This association suggests that patients with primary cilia-associated diseases may be at risk for airway disease.

Abstract
Mechanoreceptive sensory neurons innervating the skin, skeletal muscles and viscera signal both innocuous and noxious information necessary for proprioception, touch and pain. These neurons are responsible for the transduction of mechanical stimuli into action potentials that propagate to the central nervous system. The ability of these cells to detect mechanical stimuli impinging on them relies on the presence of mechanosensitive channels that transduce the external mechanical forces into electrical and chemical signals. Although a great deal of information regarding the molecular and biophysical properties of mechanosensitive channels in prokaryotes has been accumulated over the past two decades, less is known about the mechanosensitive channels necessary for proprioception and the senses of touch and pain. This review summarizes the most pertinent data on mechanosensitive channels of mammalian somatosensory neurons, focusing on their properties, pharmacology and putative identity.
