Clara cell secretory protein (CC16): characteristics and perspectives as lung peripheral biomarker.

Primary tabs

Broeckaert, F Bernard, Alfred [UCL]

Clara cell protein (CC16) is a 15.8-kDa homodimeric protein secreted in large amounts in airways by the non-ciliated bronchiolar Clara cells. This protein increasingly appears to protect the respiratory tract against oxidative stress and inflammation. In vitro, CC16 has been shown to modulate the production and/or the activity of various mediators of the inflammatory response including PLA2, interferon-gamma and tumour necrosis factor-alpha. CC16 has also been found to inhibit fibroblast migration or to bind various endogenous or exogenous substances such as polychlorobiphenyls (PCBs). This protective role is confirmed by studies on transgenic mice, showing that CC16 deficiency is associated with an increased susceptibility of the lung to viral infections and oxidative stress. In humans, a polymorphism of the CC16 gene, localized to a region linked to airway diseases, has recently been discovered in association with an increased risk of developing childhood asthma. Finally, CC16 also presents a major interest as a peripheral marker for assessing the integrity of the lung epithelium. The determination of CC16 in serum is a new non-invasive test to detect Clara cell damage or an increased epithelial permeability in various acute and chronic lung disorders.
