Objectives/HypothesisTo examine the effect of dexamethasone on basal and proinflammatory cytokine‐induced gel‐forming mucin expression in human middle ear epithelial cell line (HMEEC‐1).MethodsHMEEC‐1 was exposed to proinflammatory cytokines, tumor necrosis factor‐alpha (TNF‐), and interleukin‐1 beta (IL‐1β) to identify optimal mucin induction. The HMEEC‐1 was incubated with dexamethasone in the steady state and in the presence of proinflammatory cytokine stimulation. Expression ofMUC2andMUC5ACwas determined by quantitative polymerase chain reaction.ResultsProinflammatory cytokines, TNF‐α and IL‐1β, inducedMUC2andMUC5ACexpression in HMEEC‐1. Dexamethasone reduced steady state mRNA level ofMUC5ACin a time‐dependent (P< 0.05) and dose‐dependent (P< 0.0001) manner.MUC2was effectively suppressed at all time points tested (P< 0.05). Temporal difference between dexamethasone suppression ofMUC2andMUC5ACwas demonstrated. Dexamethasone inhibits the proinflammatory cytokine‐induced expression of bothMUC2andMUC5AC.ConclusionThis work provides a conclusive picture of the ability of using glucocorticoids to downregulate mucin gene expression in human MEE using a generalizable model of inflammation that is applicable to multiple potential causes of MEE mucosal hypertrophy. This data adds to the promising potential of future interventions for patients with chronic otitis media.Level of EvidenceN/A.Laryngoscope, 126:E248–E254, 2016
