Abstract

Inhibition or attenuation of mucous hypersecretion in middle ear epithelium is a key step toward resolution of mucoid otitis media. Mucous hypersecretion induced by platelet-activating factor (PAF) in cultured Chinchilla middle ear epithelial cells is dependent on arachidonic acid metabolites via PAF receptors, suggestive of the role of phospholipase A₂ (PLA₂) in mucous glycoprotein (MGP) secretion. In this study, dexamethasone added to cultured Chinchilla middle ear epithelial cells inhibited baseline and PAF-induced MGP secretion in a concentration-dependent manner. A definite time lag (16 h) was observed between administration of dexamethasone and MGP inhibition. This inhibition was reversed by the addition of exogenous PEA₂ (the rate-limiting enzyme of arachidonic acid metabolism) and actinomycin D (an inhibitor of mRNA synthesis). This suggests that dexamethasone inhibits baseline and PAF-induced MGP secretion via a PLA₂-dependent mechanism.
