Glucocorticoids are hypothesized to induce beta(2)-adrenergic receptors (beta(2)-R) and their functions. The ability of dexamethasone (DEX) in vitro and beclomethasone dipropionate (BDP) in vivo to induce beta(2)-R messenger RNA (mRNA) and function was investigated in human nasal mucosa. In this tissue, albuterol does not stimulate exocytosis either in vivo or in vitro (Mullol and coworkers, 1992). Therefore, induction of beta(2)-R-mediated glandula rexocytosis by glucocorticoids was proposed as an unambiguous outcome measure. Human nasal mucosa was cultured for 3 d with and without 1 mu M DEX, then challenged with media or 100 mu M albuterol. Culture supernatants were collected for measurement of exocytosed glandular products. Explant mRNA was extracted for reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and in situ hybridization of beta(2)-R mRNA performed. In vivo, normal subjects received saline or BDP for 3 d before albuterol nasal provocation. Concentrations of exocytosed products were measured in nasal secretions. RNA was extracted from nasal epithelial scrapings for RT-PCR, fn vitro, DEX treatment induced albuterol-mediated glandular exocytosis (p
