Inhibitory Effects of S-carboxymethylcystein on Goblet Cell Proliferation in Cultured Epithelium.

CONCLUSION: TNF-α promoted goblet cell proliferation in nasal polyps, suggesting its influence on nasal polyp formation. As S-CMC inhibited inflammatory stimulation-induced goblet cell proliferation in nasal polyp epithelium, it may be useful for the treatment of sinusitis.
