Evaluation of substance P and bradykinin levels in nasal secretions of patients with nasal polyposis with and without sensitivity to non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs. Laryngoscope Investig Otolaryngol 2022; 7:928-934. [PMID: 36000030 PMCID: PMC9392371 DOI: 10.1002/lio2.851] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2022] [Revised: 06/15/2022] [Accepted: 06/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/07/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective The role of neurogenic inflammation in pathogenesis of chronic rhinitis is well known. However, very little is known about its importance in pathogenesis of nasal polyposis (NP), especially in form of NP which appears as a part of aspirin‐exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD). The aim of this study was to examine the concentrations of neuropeptides substance P (SP) and bradykinin (BK) in nasal secretions of patients with NP. Methods Fourteen patients with NP as a part of AERD with mild persistent asthma, 14 patients with NP without aspirin sensitivity, and 14 control subjects without nasal inflammation (C) entered this cross‐sectional study. Clinical parameters (symptoms, endoscopic, and radiological findings) were assessed. The concentrations of SP and BK were measured in the nasal secretion samples using commercial human enzyme immunoassay kits. Results The concentration of SP in nasal secretions was significantly higher in NP patients without aspirin sensitivity and AERD patients compared to controls (p = .022; p < .0001, respectively), but higher in AERD than in non‐AERD patients (p = .018). The level of BK in nasal fluid was higher in non‐AERD and AERD NP patients than in controls (p < .0001; p < .0001, respectively), but also higher in AERD than in non‐AERD patients (p < .0001). We found high positive correlations between BK in nasal fluid and Lund–Mackay computed tomography (CT) score in both non‐AERD and AERD groups of NP patients. Conclusion Our results suggest more intense release of SP and BK from the nasal mucosa in patients with AERD than in patients with NP who do not have aspirin sensitivity. The strong correlation between concentration of BK in nasal secretions and CT score suggests that BK in nasal fluid could be used as a marker for disease severity as measured by the Lund–Mackay score.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the role of neurotrophins such as nerve growth factor and brain-derived neurotrophic factor in nasal polyps development has been studied, the contribution of neurotrophin-3 has not been evaluated yet. This study aimed to investigate the possible role of neurotrophin-3 in nasal polyps pathogenesis. METHODS The study group comprised 70 non-allergic nasal polyps patients and the control group consisted of 53 patients with middle turbinate concha bullosa. Specimens were taken, during surgery, from the ethmoid sinus nasal polyps in the nasal polyps group and from the lateral part of the middle turbinate concha bullosa in the control group. Tissue and serum levels of neurotrophin-3 were assessed by immunohistochemistry and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, respectively. RESULTS Nasal polyps patients had higher tissue neurotrophin-3 scores (p < 0.001). There was no statistically significant difference between groups regarding serum neurotrophin-3 levels (p = 0.417). Tissue neurotrophin-3 staining scores in the nasal polyps group had no statistically significant correlation with Lund-Mackay scores (p = 0.792). CONCLUSION Neurotrophin-3 may have a local effect in nasal polyps pathogenesis, without joining systemic circulation.

Abstract
Background Dysfunctional innervation might contribute to the pathogenesis of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), but the state of the axonal outgrowth signaling in CRSwNP is unknown. The purpose of this study was to explore the axonal outgrowth pathway-related protein expression in CRSwNP. Methods Institutional review board approved study in which tissue proteomes were compared between control and CRSwNP patients (n = 10/group) using an aptamer-based proteomic array and confirmed by whole transcriptomic analysis. Results Compared with controls, proteins associated with axonal guidance signaling pathway such as beta-nerve growth factor, semaphorin 3A, Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1, Bcl-2, protein kinase C delta type, and Fyn were significantly decreased in patients with CRSwNP (fold change [FC] = -1.17, P = .002; FC = -1.09, P < .001; FC = -1.33, P < .001; FC = -1.31, P < .001; FC = -1.31, P = .004; and FC = -1.20, P = 0.012, respectively). In contrast, reticulon-4 receptor, an inhibitory factor, was significantly increased in patients with CRSwNP (FC = 1.25, P < .001). Furthermore, neuronal growth-associated proteins such as ciliary neurotrophic factor receptor subunit alpha, neuronal growth regulator 1, neuronal cell adhesion molecule, neural cell adhesion molecule L1, platelet-derived growth factor subunit A, and netrin-4 were all significantly decreased in patients with CRSwNP (FC = -1.25, P < .001; FC = -1.27, P = .002; FC = -1.65, P = .013; FC = -4.20, P < .001; FC = -1.28, P < .001; and FC = -2.31, P < .001, respectively). In contrast, tissue eosinophil count ( P < .001) and allergic inflammation factors such as IgE, periostin, and galectin-10 were all significantly increased in patients with CRSwNP (FC = 12.28, P < .001; FC = 3.95, P < .001; and FC = 2.44, P < .001, respectively). Furthermore, the log FC of the studied proteins expression significantly and positively correlated with log FC of their mRNA expression ( P < .001, r = .88). Conclusions Axonal guidance signaling and neural growth factors pathways proteins are significantly suppressed in eosinophilic CRSwNP.

Females have stronger neurogenic response than males after non-specific nasal challenge in patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis. Med Hypotheses 2018; 116:114-118. [PMID: 29857893 DOI: 10.1016/j.mehy.2018.04.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2018] [Revised: 04/16/2018] [Accepted: 04/24/2018] [Indexed: 01/13/2023]
Abstract
Epidemiological studies show female predominance in the prevalence of non- allergic rhinitis (NAR) and local allergic rhinitis (LAR). Experimental studies show female patients with allergic rhinitis (AR) demonstrate higher levels of sensitivity to irritants and airway hyperresponsiveness than males. Bronchial asthma shows female predominance in post-puberty patients, and gender interaction with severe asthma endotypes. Fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, migraine and chronic cough, syndromes, which are commonly related to neurokinin substance P (SP) in the literature, also show strong female predominance. Studies have demonstrated that sex hormones, primarily oestrogens, affect mast cell activation. Mast cell proteases can amplify neurogenic inflammatory responses including the release of SP. Based on human epidemiological data and animal experimental data we hypothesized that female patients have different interaction between mast cell activation and neurogenic inflammation, i.e. substance P release, resulting in a different nasal symptom profile. To test the hypothesis we performed allergen and non-specific nasal challenges in patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis (SAR) out of season and looked for gender differences in subjective and objective responses. The interaction between subjective and objective reactivity was evaluated through the comparison of subjective symptom scores, concentrations of neurokinin substance P (SP) and cellular markers in nasal lavages after low doses of nasal allergen challenges. Female allergic subjects tended to have higher substance P (SP) concentrations both before and after non-specific challenges. The difference between post-allergen and post - hypertonic saline (HTS) challenge was highly significant in female patients (p = 0.001), while insignificant in male subjects (p = 0.14). Female patients had significantly stronger burning sensation after HTS challenge than male. These data indicate difference in the interaction between inflammatory cells and the neurogenic response, which is gender- related, and which may affect symptom profiles after challenges. Different regulation of neurogenic inflammation in females may have impact on symptoms and endotyping in respiratory disorders, not only in allergic rhinitis, but also asthma, chronic rhinosinusitis and irritant -induced cough.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate whether disodium cromoglycate (DSCG) inhibits capsaicin-induced eosinophil infiltration of the conjunctiva independent of mast cells. METHODS We administered 5 microl of capsaicin solution (10(-5) M) into the conjunctival sacs of mast cell-deficient W/W(v) mice (12 animals) and wild-type mice (12 animals). As controls, the eyes of 12 wild-type and 12 W/W(v) mice were treated with phosphate-buffered saline. Following treatment, the eyelids and eyeballs were removed en bloc at 3, 9, or 24 h, and were histologically examined. The number of infiltrated eosinophils and the expression of vascular cell adhesion molecule-l (VCAM-1) in the conjunctiva were quantified by the staining method of Hansel and immunohistochemical analysis. We also investigated whether treatment by depletion of neuropeptides or by DSCG administration could suppress the capsaicin-induced eosinophil infiltration of the conjunctiva. RESULTS In both W/W(v) and wild-type mice, eosinophil infiltration of conjunctival tissues was observed 3 h after capsaicin administration. In both strains of mice, the number of infiltrated eosinophils increased over time, with VCAM-1 expression on vascular endothelial cells peaking at 9 h after treatment, and decreasing gradually within 24 h after treatment. In both the neuropeptide-depleted and the DSCG-treated groups, eosinophil infiltration and VCAM-1 expression were suppressed in comparison with the nontreated group. CONCLUSION DSCG can directly inhibit neuropeptide-induced eosinophil infiltration of the conjunctiva independent of mast cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The underlying relationship between viral infections and allergic diseases of the upper respiratory tract has not been well clarified. METHODS In order to clarify the relationship between viral infection and nasal hypersensitivity, mice were sensitized with ovalbumin (OVA) and then infected intranasally with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), after which their nasal sensitivity to histamine or antigen was examined. RESULTS Non-sensitized mice showed transient mild nasal hypersensitivity following nasal administration of histamine after intranasal RSV inoculation. In mice sensitized with OVA, RSV infection significantly exaggerated their nasal hypersensitivity to histamine and OVA. Treatment of these mice with a neurokinin (NK)-1/NK-2 receptor antagonist, but not with anti-IL-5 antibodies, reduced their hypersensitivity. The infiltration of nasal mucosa with eosinophils was temporarily associated with accelerated rate of RSV elimination in these animals. CONCLUSION RSV infection induced transient nasal hypersensitivity. Several mechanisms, including impairment of nasal epithelial cells are thought to mediate this effect. In allergen-sensitized mice, RSV inoculation strongly enhanced nasal hypersensitivity.

Abstract
Background There is a need for more research on all forms of rhinosinusitis. Progress in this area has been hampered by a lack of consensus definitions and the limited number of published clinical trials. Objectives To develop consensus definitions for rhinosinusitis and outline strategies useful in clinical trials. Methods Five national societies, The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology; The American Academy of Otolaryngic Allergy; The American Academy of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery; The American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology; and the American Rhinologic Society formed an expert panel from multiple disciplines. Over two days, the panel developed definitions for rhinosinusitis and outlined strategies for design of clinical trials. Results Committee members agreed to adopt the term “rhinosinusitis” and reached consensus on definitions and strategies for clinical research on acute presumed bacterial rhinosinusitis, chronic rhinosinusitis without polyposis, chronic rhinosinusitis with polyposis, and classic allergic fungal rhinosinusitis. Symptom and objective criteria, measures for monitoring research progress, and use of symptom scoring tools, quality-of-life instruments, radiologic studies, and rhinoscopic assessment were outlined for each condition. Conclusion The recommendations from this conference should improve accuracy of clinical diagnosis and serve as a starting point for design of rhinosinusitis clinical trials.

Abstract
Stimulation of the nasal sensory nerves leads to sensations of pain and stuffiness. Type C nociceptive nerve releases neuropeptides including substance P and calcitonin gene related peptides that increase plasma extravasation and glandular secretion. This axonal response acts as an immediate protective mucosal defense mechanism. Recruited parasympathetic reflexes cause submucosal gland secretion via acetylcholine and muscarinic M(3) receptors. Itching, sneezing, and other avoidance behaviors rapidly clear the offending agents from the upper airways and protect the lower airways. Dysfunction of these nerves may contribute to allergic rhinitis, infectious rhinitis, nasal hyperresponsiveness, and possibly sinusitis. Sympathetic arterial vasoconstriction reduces mucosal blood flow, sinusoidal filling, and mucosal thickness, and so restores nasal patency. Loss of sympathetic tone may contribute to some chronic, nonallergic rhinopathies. Human axon responses differ from those in animals, an important distinction that limits extrapolation from other species.
