Background:Nuclear imaging biomarkers illustrate unique aspects of lung physiology and are useful for assessing therapeutic effects in cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease. We have developed a multiprobe method to simultaneously measure mucociliary clearance (MCC) and paracellular absorption (ABS). MCC is a direct measure of mucus clearance. ABS has been related to airway surface liquid (ASL) absorption through previousin vitrostudies.Methods:We describe baseline factors affecting MCC and ABS using data from a retrospectivebaselinegroup (n= 22) and the response of the measures to inhaled 7% hypertonic saline (HS) and dry powder mannitol using data from a prospectiveresponsegroup (n= 7). A retrospective healthycontrolgroup (n= 15) is also described. Thebaselineandcontrolgroups performed single measurements of MCC/ABS. Theresponsegroup performed baseline measurements of MCC/ABS and measurements after each intervention.Results:ABS was correlated (Spearman'sρ= 0.51,p= 0.06) to sweat chloride, a systemic measure of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) function, whereas MCC was not. Baseline MCC was depressed afterPseudomonas aeruginosainfection as we have previously described. MCC provided a more sensitive indication of therapeutic effect and indicated improved clearance with mannitol compared with HS.Conclusion:MCC provides a useful and well-established means of testing therapies directed at improving mucus clearance in the lung. ABS may provide a means of detecting local changes in ASL absorption and CFTR function in the lung. Both are useful tools for studying the key aspects of CF lung pathophysiology (ASL hyperabsorption and MCC depression) that link the basic genetic defects of CF to disease manifestations in the lung.
