hypersecretion of mucus is an inherent part of the defence of the airways with the amount of mucus secretion varying with a range of stimuli, including bacteria, particles and chemical irritants.
Hypersecretion occurs in many disease states, but is a major clinical and pathological feature in cystic fibrosis (CF) related bronchiectasis, nonCF bronchiectasis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma.
In these disorders there is an expansion of the goblet cell population derived from the airways epithelium. Indeed, this response can be seen as an epithelial cell adaptation to injury, which constitutes a limb of the local host defences.
