Abstract

We investigated whether poly-L-histidine (PLH) significantly affect mucin release from cultured airway epithelial cells. Confluent primary hamster tracheal surface epithelial (HTSE) cells were metabolically radiolabeled with $^$^3H$$glucosamine for 24 hr and chased for 30 min in the presence of PLH to assess the effect on $^3H$-mucin release. PLH 9,850 and PLH 6,700 specifically inhibit mucin release from airway goblet cells without significant cytotoxicity. This finding suggests that poly-L-histidine might function as an airway mucoregulative agent.
