OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: Sinonasal respiratory epithelial mucociliary clearance is dependent on the transepithelial transport of ions such as Cl(-) . The objectives of the present study were to investigate the role of oxygen restriction in 1) Cl(-) transport across primary sinonasal epithelial monolayers, 2) expression of the apical Cl(-) channels cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) and transmembrane protein 16A (TMEM16A), and 3) the pathogenesis of chronic rhinosinusitis. STUDY DESIGN: In vitro investigation. METHODS: Murine nasal septal epithelial (MNSE), wild type, and human sinonasal epithelial (HSNE) cultures were incubated under hypoxic conditions (1% O(2) , 5% CO(2) ). Cultures were mounted in Ussing chambers for ion transport measurements. CFTR and TMEM16A expression were measured using quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). RESULTS: The change in short-circuit current (ΔI(SC) in microamperes per square centimeter) attributable to CFTR (forskolin-stimulated) was significantly decreased due to a 12-hour hypoxia exposure in both MNSE (13.55 ± 0.46 vs. 19.23 ± 0.18) and HSNE (19.55 ± 0.56 vs. 25.49 ± 1.48 [control]; P < .05). TMEM16A (uridine triphosphate-stimulated transport) was inhibited by 48 hours of hypoxic exposure in MNSE (15.92 ± 2.87 vs. 51.44 ± 3.71 [control]; P < .05) and by 12 hours of hypoxic exposure in HSNE (16.75 ± 0.68 vs. 24.15 ± 1.35 [control]). Quantitative RT-PCR (reported as relative mRNA levels ± standard deviation) demonstrated significant reductions in both CFTR and TMEM16A mRNA expression in MNSE and HSNE owing to airway epithelial hypoxia. CONCLUSIONS: Sinonasal epithelial CFTR and TMEM16A-mediated Cl(-) transport and mRNA expression were robustly decreased in an oxygen-restricted environment. These findings indicate that persistent hypoxia may lead to acquired defects in sinonasal Cl(-) transport in a fashion likely to confer mucociliary dysfunction in chronic rhinosinusitis.
