Rhinitis and rhinosinusitis are often associated with airway diseases such as asthma, cystic fibrosis, and nasal polyposis. In these diseases, the alteration of both the quantity and quality of mucus results in an impaired mucociliary clearance, and this produces, in extreme cases, the airway obstruction. Mucins are the major component in mucus and are responsible for its viscoelastic properties. Mucin expression patterns have been shown to be altered in rhinitis-associated diseases. It has been proposed that this is one of the causes of hyperviscid mucus plugs in these pathologies. For this reason, the study of mucin expression and regulation in upper- and lower-airway diseases, such as asthma, cystic fibrosis, and nasal polyposis, may be crucial for the development of new therapies against mucus hypersecretion. In this review, we report major findings regarding mucin expression and regulation in rhinitis syndromes.
