The effect of glucocorticoids on respiratory glycoconjugate (RGC) secretion was studied in a cat tracheal organ culture system. Dexamethasone (10(-5) to 10(-9) M) added to culture medium for 24 h caused a dose-related reversible inhibition of RCG of as much as 40% with a peak effect at 24 to 60 h after initiation of dexamethasone treatment. A monoclonal antilipocortin antibody added to the cultures blocked the inhibitory effect of dexamethasone on RGC secretion and accelerated the reversal of the dexamethasone effect after discontinuation of dexamethasone treatment. A control antibody without antilipocortin activity had no effect on RGC secretion or dexamethasone-induced inhibition of RGC secretion. Measurement of the concentration of lipocortin in airways revealed a 220% increase after treatment with dexamethasone for 24 h. We conclude that dexamethasone inhibits RGC secretion through the induction of lipocortin synthesis.

D002415 Cats The domestic cat, Felis catus, of the carnivore family FELIDAE, comprising over 30 different breeds. The domestic cat is descended primarily from the wild cat of Africa and extreme southwestern Asia. Though probably present in towns in Palestine as long ago as 7000 years, actual domestication occurred in Egypt about 4000 years ago.
