Background: MUC5AC
Given that MUC5AC is the primary mucin produced and secreted by cells lining airway, it is understandable that its expression is dysregulated in a number of respiratory diseases (1,3,5,6). For instance, MUC5AC is overexpressed in asthma and the protein is also more highly glycosylated, specifically fucosylated, in the disease state (1,3,7). Additionally, its overproduction is a key feature in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) contributing to mucosal blockage (6). Multiple pathways are associated with overproduction of MUC5AC including NFkappaB, the primary pathway for production and secretion, and also the MAPK and STAT6 pathways (3). In addition to conventional, synthetic therapeutics agents, researchers are exploring natural MUC5AC inhibitors such as flavonoids, glycosides, and steroids to treat associated disorders (3).
