Asian Sand Dust Enhances the Inflammatory Response and Mucin Gene Expression in the Middle Ear
OBJECTIVES Asia sand dust (ASD) is known to cause various human diseases including respiratory infection. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of ASD on inflammatory response in human middle ear epithelial cells (HMEECs) in vitro and in vivo. METHODS Cell viability was assessed using the cell counting kit-8 assay. The mRNA levels of various genes including COX-2, TNF-a, MUC 5AC, MU...
متن کاملChinchilla middle ear epithelial mucin gene expression in response to inflammatory cytokines.
OBJECTIVES To review the importance of mucin on a molecular level in the understanding of the pathophysiology of otitis media and to present new data demonstrating differential up-regulation of specific mucin genes during inflammation of middle ear epithelium. DESIGN Primary chinchilla middle ear epithelial cultures (CMEECs) were established and exposed to tumor necrosis factor alpha and inte...
متن کاملSquamous metaplasia of the middle ear epithelium.
This study deals with the expression of cytokeratins (Cks) in squamous cell metaplastic lesions in rat and human middle ear. In rats, squamous metaplastic lesions could be induced during chronic otitis media. The histological features of these lesions were similar to those observed in the human middle ear. Immunohistochemistry revealed that squamous cell metaplasia in both rat and human middle ...
متن کاملBPIFA1 Gene Expression in the Human Middle Ear Mucosa.
OBJECTIVE The bactericidal/permeability-increasing, fold-containing family member A1 (BPIFA1) gene codes a secretory protein (BPIFA1), which is present in the respiratory tract mucosa, and is part of the innate immune system. This study aimed to prove that BPIFA1 gene expression exists in the human middle ear mucosa. MATERIALS AND METHODS In total, 32 patients participated in the study betwee...
متن کاملAllergy and recurrent middle ear effusion
Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the otitis media with effusion (OME) groups that improved when treated with adenoidectomy and Ventilation Tube (VT), to the group of the recurred after surgery and detect the possible role of allergy in OME. Material and Methods: This study was performed on two groups. The Patient group consisted of 38 patients with recurrent OME with allergy an...
