Club cell-derived brain-derived neurotrophic factor regulates murine airway mechanics and mucin production in response to IL-13 in a sex-dependent manner by Amy Fagan, Mariana Sponchiado, Luz Mata, Shanil Amin, J. Ignacio Aguirre, Sreekala Prabhakaran, Leah R. Reznikov

“…No statistically significant differences were observed in pulmonary mechanics between male mice with or without conditional loss of epithelial cell Bdnf, although treatment effects of IL-13 were noted. Mechanistic and complementary studies performed in NCI-H322 cells, a human cell line with “club cell-like” characteristics, failed to demonstrate a relationship among BDNF, IL-13 signaling, and Muc5ac at the mRNA level.ConclusionThese data highlight sex-dependent differences and club cell-specific effects of Bdnf in regulating airway physiology under inflammatory conditions in mice, suggesting that further studies are needed to understand potential translational implications.…”
