Chronic alcohol misuse can lead to alcohol-induced ciliary dysfunction (AICD), preventing effective mucociliary clearance and protection against lung infection. Because zinc salts fail to alter AICD, we hypothesized a form of zinc (Zinpro Zinc LG) with enhanced cell uptake would protect against AICD. Human and mouse airway epithelial cells were treated with 50 mM ethanol for 1\u201324 h followed by the ciliostimulatory agents. Cilia beat frequency (CBF) and cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) activity were assayed. Cyclic AMP or beta agonists stimulated a significant increase in CBF, but 24 h alcohol pretreatment resulted in the desensitization of the cilia to these agents. Pretreatment of cells with 1\u201310 \u00b5g\/mL Zinpro Zinc LG prior to alcohol restored the cAMP cilia stimulation response. Zinpro Zinc LG alone produced no effects and was not toxic at &lt;10 \u00b5g\/mL. PKA activation was prevented in cells treated with alcohol for 24 h, but pretreatment with Zinpro Zinc LG prior to alcohol restored kinase activation. Zinpro Zinc LG prevented alcohol-stimulation of Protein Phosphatase-1, the regulator of PKA desensitization. These data demonstrate that the exposomal combination of alcohol and nutritional Zn deficiency could lead to an aberrant ciliary clearance response that may be prevented by effective zinc supplementation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/biology15151222","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,23]],"date-time":"2026-07-23T09:11:26Z","timestamp":1784797886000},"page":"1222","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A Zinc Chelate of Lysine\/Glutamic Acid Reduces Alcohol-Induced Ciliary Dysfunction"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Emily","family":"Do","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine Division, University of Nebraska Medical Center, 985910 Nebraska Medical Center, Omaha, NE 68198-5910, USA"},{"name":"Department of Environmental, Agricultural, and Occupational Health, University of Nebraska Medical Center, 984388 Nebraska Medical Center, Omaha, NE 68198-4388, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9977-2857","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daren L.","family":"Knoell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine Division, University of Nebraska Medical Center, 985910 Nebraska Medical Center, Omaha, NE 68198-5910, USA"},{"name":"Department of Pharmacy Practice and Science, University of Nebraska Medical Center, 986120 Nebraska Medical Center, Omaha, NE 68198-6120, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christopher D.","family":"Bauer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine Division, University of Nebraska Medical Center, 985910 Nebraska Medical Center, Omaha, NE 68198-5910, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-8783-7576","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Deanna D.","family":"Mosley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine Division, University of Nebraska Medical Center, 985910 Nebraska Medical Center, Omaha, NE 68198-5910, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-5232-6083","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Deandra R.","family":"Smith","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacy Practice and Science, University of Nebraska Medical Center, 986120 Nebraska Medical Center, Omaha, NE 68198-6120, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5356-1413","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Derrick R.","family":"Samuelson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine Division, University of Nebraska Medical Center, 985910 Nebraska Medical Center, Omaha, NE 68198-5910, USA"},{"name":"VA Nebraska-Western Iowa Health Care System, 4101 Woolworth Avenue, Omaha, NE 68105-1850, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9273-6730","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Todd A.","family":"Wyatt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine Division, University of Nebraska Medical Center, 985910 Nebraska Medical Center, Omaha, NE 68198-5910, USA"},{"name":"Department of Environmental, Agricultural, and Occupational Health, University of Nebraska Medical Center, 984388 Nebraska Medical Center, Omaha, NE 68198-4388, USA"},{"name":"VA Nebraska-Western Iowa Health Care System, 4101 Woolworth Avenue, Omaha, NE 68105-1850, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"(2026, June 02).
