Abstract
INTRODUCTION Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a group of enzymes that are essential in maintaining extracellular matrix (ECM) homeostasis, regulating inflammation and tissue remodeling. In chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), the overexpression of certain MMPs can contribute to chronic nasal tissue inflammation, ECM remodeling, and tissue repair. AREAS COVERED This review provides a comprehensive overview of the biological characteristics and functions of the MMP family, particularly focusing on the expression and activity of MMPs in patients with CRS, and delves into their role in the pathogenesis of CRS and their potential as therapeutic targets. EXPERT OPINION MMPs are important in tissue remodeling and have been implicated in the pathophysiology of CRS. Previous studies have shown that the expression of MMPs is upregulated in the nasal mucosa of patients with CRS and positively correlates with the severity of CRS. However, there is still a large gap in the research content of MMP in CRS, and the specific expression and pathogenic mechanism of MMP still need to be clarified. The significance and value of the ratio of MMP to tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase (TIMP) in diseases still need to be demonstrated. Moreover, further studies are needed to assess the efficacy and safety of biologics that target MMPs in patients with CRS.

[PMID: 38790942 PMCID: PMC11117578 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines12050980] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/09/2024] [Revised: 04/22/2024] [Accepted: 04/26/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
The prevention of postoperative recurrence after endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) relies on targeting specific pathological mechanisms according to individuals' immunological profiles. However, essential biomarkers and biological characteristics of difficult-to-treat chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) patients are not well-defined. The aim of this study was to explore the immunologic profiles of subgroups of CRS patients and determine the specific cytokines responsible for recalcitrant or recurrent CRS with nasal polyposis (rCRSwNP). We used 30 cytokine antibody arrays to determine the key cytokines related to recurrent polypogenesis. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) experiments were conducted to assess the levels of these key cytokines in 78 patients. Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) isolated from nasal polyps were challenged with specific cytokines to examine the levels of enhanced interleukin (IL)-8 production. Finally, we used immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining to check for the presence and distribution of the biomarkers within nasal polyps. A cytokine antibody array revealed that IL-8, IL-13, IL-15, and IL-20 were significantly higher in the recalcitrant CRSwNP group. Subsequent ELISA screening showed a stepwise increase in tissue IL-8 levels in the CHR, CRSsNP, and CRSwNP groups. PMNs isolated from nine CRSwNP cases all demonstrated enhanced IL-8 production after IL-15 treatment. IHC staining was labeled concurrent IL-8 and IL-15 expression in areas of prominent neutrophil infiltration. Our results suggest that IL-15 within the sinonasal mucosa plays a crucial role in promoting IL-8 secretion by infiltrating PMNs in recalcitrant nasal polyps. In addition, we propose a novel therapeutic strategy targeting the anti-IL-15/IL-8 axis to treat CRS with nasal polyposis.

Abstract
According to the concept of "united airway diseases", the airway is a single organ in which upper and lower airway diseases are commonly comorbid. A range of inflammatory factors have been found to play an important role in the chain reaction of upper and lower airway diseases. However, the amount of research on this concept remains limited. The underlying mechanism of the relationship between typical diseases of the united airway, such as asthma, allergic rhinitis, and chronic sinusitis, also needs to be further explored. This review highlights the interaction between upper and lower respiratory diseases gathered from epidemiological, histoembryology, neural mechanistic, microbiological, and clinical studies, revealing the relationship between the upper and lower respiratory tracts.

Abstract
Some studies have demonstrated the effects of particulate matter (PM) on chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) development, as well as the therapeutic role of retinoic acid (RA) in nasal polypogenesis. However, the immunologic effect of PM in innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) and the exact mechanism of the therapeutic effect of RA remain unclear. Therefore, the present study investigated the effects of fine-dust-induced inflammation in CRSwNP and the mechanisms of the therapeutic effect of RA. PM2.5 exposure exacerbated pathological damage in the nasal mucosa of mice with nasal polyps (NP) via upregulation of type 2 inflammation. Additionally, PM2.5 exposure increased the expression of type 2 cytokines and epithelial-cell-derived cytokines (IL-33 and IL-25) significantly, as well as the ILC populations in human-NP-derived epithelial cells (HNECs). Moreover, RA supplementation significantly increased the expression of ILCreg in Lin-CD45+CD127+ cells, which in turn increased the levels of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10. The findings suggest that PM2.5 exposures could aggravate the CRSwNP type 2 inflammation, and RA treatment may ameliorate fine-dust-induced inflammation by modulating the innate immune response.

Abstract
Purpose Nasal polyp (NP) is characterized by inflammation of the sinonasal mucosa with predominant inflammatory cell infiltration. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) are recognized to play an important role in leukocyte migration in airway inflammation. Herein, efforts were made to confirm the expression levels of MMPs/TIMPs and study the relationship between the infiltration of inflammatory cells and local expression levels of MMPs/TIMPs in NPs. Patients and Methods NP tissues were obtained from 42 Chinese patients with bilateral nasal polyps during the endoscopic sinus surgery. Inferior turbinate (IT) tissues from 19 patients with septal deviation were taken during the rhinoplasty surgery as controls. mRNA and protein levels of MMP1, MMP9, MMP10, MMP12, TIMP1 and TIMP3 were assessed by quantitative PCR and immunohistochemistry. Results Eosinophilia (72%, 23/32 samples), neutrophilia (41%, 13/32 samples), and increase in macrophages (38%, 12/32 samples) were found in NP tissues. mRNA expression of MMP1 (10.9-fold), MMP9 (4.1-fold), MMP10 (6.7-fold) and MMP12 (3.5-fold) were significantly up-regulated, while TIMP1 (1.5-fold) and TIMP3 (6.0-fold) were significantly down-regulated in NPs (n=42) as compared to the controls (n=19). The immunostaining levels of all 4 MMPs and two TIMPs were higher in NPs than those in controls. The co-localization of MMP1/MMP10/MMP12 and macrophages were identified in NPs. MMP9 was mainly expressed in neutrophils, while TIMP1 or TIMP3 were mostly found in eosinophils in NPs. Conclusion The results of our study indicate that tissue remodeling is significant in NPs, where MMPs/TIMPs play important roles in both tissue remodeling and inflammatory cells infiltration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a disease of real interest for researchers due to its heterogenicity and complex pathophysiological mechanisms. Identification of the factors that ensure success after treatment represents one of the main challenges in CRSwNP research. No consensus in this direction has been reached so far. Biomarkers for poor outcomes have been noted, but nonetheless, their prognostic value has not been extensively investigated, and needs to be sought. We aimed to evaluate the correlation between potential prognostic predictors for recalcitrant disease in patients with CRSwNP. METHODS The study group consisted of CRSwNP patients who underwent surgical treatment and nasal polyp (NP) tissue sampling. The preoperative workup included Lund-Mackay assessment, nasal endoscopy, eosinophil blood count, asthma, and environmental allergy questionnaire. Postoperatively, in subjects with poor outcomes, imagistic osteitis severity was evaluated, and IL-33 expression was measured. RESULTS IL-33 expression in NP was positively and significantly correlated with postoperative osteitis on CT scans (p = 0.01). Furthermore, high osteitis CT scores were related to high blood eosinophilia (p = 0.01). A positive strong correlation was found between postoperative osteitis and the Lund-Mackay preoperative score (p = 0.01), as well as the nasal endoscopy score (p = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Our research analyzed the levels of polyp IL-33, relative to blood eosinophilia, overall disease severity score, and osteitis severity, in patients with CRSwNP. These variables are prognostic predictors for poor outcomes and recalcitrant disease. Considering the importance of bone involvement in CRSwNP, this research aims to provide a better insight into the correlations of osteitis with clinical and biological factors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a heterogeneous condition characterized by differing inflammatory endotypes. The identification of suitable biomarkers could enable personalized approaches to treatment selection. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to identify and summarize clinical studies of biomarkers in adults with CRS in order to inform future research into CRS endotypes. METHODS We conducted systematic searches of MEDLINE and Web of Science from inception to January 30, 2022 and included all clinical studies of adult CRS patients and healthy controls measuring biomarkers using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays or Luminex immunoassays. Outcomes included the name and tissue type of identified biomarkers and expression patterns within CRS phenotypes. Study quality was assessed using the National Institutes of Health quality assessment tool for observational cohort and cross-sectional studies. A narrative synthesis was performed. RESULTS We identified 78 relevant studies involving up to 9394 patients, predominantly with CRS with nasal polyposis. Studies identified 80 biomarkers from nasal tissue, 25 from nasal secretions, 14 from nasal lavage fluid, 24 from serum, and one from urine. The majority of biomarkers found to distinguish CRS phenotypes were identified in nasal tissue, especially in nasal polyps. Serum biomarkers were more commonly found to differentiate CRS from controls. The most frequently measured biomarker was IL-5, followed by IL-13 and IL-4. Serum IgE, IL-17, pentraxin-3 and nasal phospho-janus kinase 2, IL-5, IL-6, IL-17A, granulocyte-colony stimulating factor, and interferon gamma were identified as correlated with disease severity. CONCLUSION We have identified numerous potential biomarkers to differentiate a range of CRS phenotypes. Future studies should focus on the prognostic role of nasal tissue biomarkers or expand on the more limited studies of nasal secretions and nasal lavage fluid.We registered this study in PROSPERO (CRD42022302787).

Abstract
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a pathological condition characterized by persistent inflammation in the upper respiratory tract and paranasal sinuses. The epithelium serves as the first line of defense against potential threats and protects the nasal mucosa. The fundamental mechanical barrier is formed by the cell-cell contact and mucociliary clearance (MCC) systems. The physical-mechanical barrier is comprised of many cellular structures, including adhesion junctions and tight junctions (TJs). To this end, different factors, such as the dysfunction of MCC, destruction of epithelial barriers, and tissue remodeling, are related to the onset and development of CRS. Recently published studies reported the critical role of different microorganisms, such as Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, in the induction of the mentioned factors. Bacteria could result in diminished ciliary stimulation capacity, and enhance the chance of CRS by reducing basal ciliary beat frequency. Additionally, bacterial exoproteins have been demonstrated to disrupt the epithelial barrier and induce downregulation of transmembrane proteins such as occludin, claudin, and tricellulin. Moreover, bacteria exert an influence on TJ proteins, leading to an increase in the permeability of polarized epithelial cells. Noteworthy, it is evident that the activation of TLR2 by staphylococcal enterotoxin can potentially undermine the structural integrity of TJs and the epithelial barrier through the induction of pro-inflammatory cytokines. The purpose of this article is an attempt to investigate the possible role of the most important microorganisms associated with CRS and their pathogenic mechanisms against mucosal surfaces and epithelial barriers in the paranasal sinuses.

Abstract
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a heterogeneous disease characterized by localized inflammation of the upper airways. CRS includes two main phenotypes, namely, CRS with nasal polyps and CRS without nasal polyps. The phenotype-based classification method cannot reflect the pathological mechanism. The endotype-based classification method has been paid more and more attention by researchers. It is mainly divided into type 2 and non-type 2 endotypes. The mechanism driving the pathogenesis of non-type 2 inflammation is currently unknown. In this review, the PubMed and Web of Science databases were searched to conduct a critical analysis of representative literature works on the pathogenesis of non-type 2 inflammation in CRS published in the past decade. This review summarizes the latest evidence that may lead to the pathogenesis of non-type 2 inflammation. It is the main method that analyzing the pathogenesis from the perspective of immunology. Genomics and proteomics technique provide new approaches to the study of the pathogenesis. Due to differences in race, environment, geography, and living habits, there are differences in the occurrence of non-type 2 inflammation, which increase the difficulty of understanding the pathogenesis of non-type 2 inflammation in CRS. Studies have confirmed that non-type 2 endotype is more common in Asian patients. The emergence of overlap and unclassified endotypes has promoted the study of heterogeneity in CRS. In addition, as the source of inflammatory cells and the initiation site of the inflammatory response, microvessels and microlymphatic vessels in the nasal mucosal subepithelial tissue participate in the inflammatory response and tissue remodeling. It is uncertain whether CRS patients affect the risk of infection with SARS-CoV-2. In addition, the pathophysiological mechanism of non-type 2 CRS combined with COVID-19 remains to be further studied, and it is worth considering how to select the befitting biologics for CRS patients with non-type 2 inflammation.

Abstract
IL-33 is a relatively new member of the IL-1 cytokine family, which plays a unique role in autoimmune diseases, particularly some oral diseases dominated by immune factors. The IL-33/ST2 axis is the main pathway by which IL-33 signals affect downstream cells to produce an inflammatory response or tissue repair. As a newly discovered pro-inflammatory cytokine, IL-33 can participate in the pathogenesis of autoimmune oral diseases such as Sjogren's syndrome and Behcet's disease. Moreover, the IL-33/ST2 axis also recruits and activates mast cells in periodontitis, producing inflammatory chemokines and mediating gingival inflammation and alveolar bone destruction. Interestingly, the high expression of IL-33 in the alveolar bone, which exhibits anti-osteoclast effects under appropriate mechanical loading, also confirms its dual role of destruction and repair in an immune-mediated periodontal environment. This study reviewed the biological effects of IL-33 in autoimmune oral diseases, periodontitis and periodontal bone metabolism, and elaborated its potential role and impact as a disease enhancer or a repair factor.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), especially CRSwNP with type 2 inflammation, remains the most difficult-to-treat subtype with high prevalence worldwide. The emergence of biologics has the potential to fulfill the unmet medical needs of patients with CRSwNP driven by type 2 inflammation. AREAS COVERED A current review of the literature was performed to overview current and emerging biological therapies in the treatment of CRSwNP. EXPERT OPINION In an era of precision medicine, biologics have been given expectations to provide customized therapies to patients with CRSwNP, particularly those with refractory CRSwNP. Large clinical trials and real-world experiences are both essential for the application of biologics. Moreover, to make biological therapy more tailored to patients, an in-depth understanding of the different mechanisms of biologics, further elucidating the relationship between biologics and conventional medical and surgical treatments, and identifying predictive biomarkers warrant thorough investigations.

[PMID: 37364325 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2023.110559] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2023] [Revised: 06/06/2023] [Accepted: 06/22/2023] [Indexed: 06/28/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypoxia plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). However, the role and mechanism of hypoxia in the type 2 immune response in eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (ECRSwNP) remain unclear. METHODS The expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) and epithelial-derived cytokines (EDCs), including interleukin (IL)-25, IL-33, and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), was detected in nasal polyps via immunohistochemical analysis. The relationship between HIF-1α and EDCs was also elucidated using Pearson's correlation. Moreover, primary human nasal epithelial cells (HNECs) and a mouse model of ECRSwNP were employed to elucidate the role and mechanism of hypoxia in type 2 immune responses. RESULTS HIF-1α, IL-25, IL-33, and TSLP expression levels were upregulated in the non-ECRSwNP and ECRSwNP groups compared with the control group, with the ECRSwNP group having the highest HIF-1α and EDC expression levels. Additionally, HIF-1α was positively correlated with IL-25 and IL-33 in the ECRSwNP group. Meanwhile, treatment with a HIF-1α inhibitor, PX-478, inhibited the hypoxia-induced increase in the mRNA and protein expression of EDCs and type 2 cytokines in HNECs. Similarly, in vivo, PX-478 inhibited EDC expression in the sinonasal mucosa of mice with ECRSwNP. CONCLUSIONS Hypoxia induces EDC expression by upregulating HIF-1α levels, thereby promoting type 2 immune responses and the development of ECRSwNP. Hence, targeting HIF-1α may represent an effective therapeutic strategy for ECRSwNP.

Abstract
Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a heterogenous group of inflammatory conditions impacting the nose and paranasal sinuses. Our understanding of the underlying pathobiology of CRSwNP has substantially improved due to ongoing translational research efforts. Advances in treatment options, including targeted respiratory biologic therapy for CRSwNP, allow for more personalized approaches for CRSwNP patient care. Patients with CRSwNP are typically classified to one or more endotype based on the presence of type 1, type 2, and type 3 inflammation. This review will discuss recent advances in our understanding of CRSwNP and how this may impact current and future treatment approaches for patients with CRSwNP.

Abstract
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) refers to an inflammatory disease of the sinonasal mucosa, with a significant economic burden and impact on quality of life. The diagnosis of CRS is conventionally made on careful history and physical examination, including nasoendoscopic assessment which requires technical expertise. There has been increasing interest in using biomarkers in the non-invasive diagnosis and prognostication of CRS, tailored to the disease inflammatory endotype. Potential biomarkers currently being studied can be isolated from peripheral blood, exhaled nasal gases or nasal secretions, as well as sinonasal tissue. In particular, various biomarkers have revolutionized the way in which CRS is managed, revealing new inflammatory pathways where novel therapeutic drugs are employed to curb the inflammatory process, which may be different from one patient to the next. Biomarkers that have been extensively studied in CRS, such as eosinophil count, IgE, and IL-5, have been associated with a TH2 inflammatory endotype which correlates with an eosinophilic CRSwNP phenotype that predicts a poorer prognosis, tends to recur after conventional surgical treatment, but responds to glucocorticoid treatment. Newer biomarkers that demonstrate potential, such as nasal nitric oxide, can support a diagnosis of CRS with or without nasal polyps, especially when invasive tests such as nasoendoscopy are unavailable. Other biomarkers such as periostin can be used to monitor disease course after treatment of CRS. With a personalized treatment plan, the management of CRS can be individualized, optimizing treatment efficiency and reducing adverse outcomes. As such, this review aims to compile and summarize the existing literature regarding the utility of biomarkers in CRS in terms of diagnosis and prognostication, and also makes recommendations for further studies to fill current knowledge gaps.

Abstract
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is related to persistent inflammation with a dysfunctional relationship between environmental agents and the host immune system. Disturbances in the functioning of the sinus mucosa lead to common clinical symptoms. The major processes involved in the pathogenesis of CRS include airway epithelial dysfunctions that are influenced by external and host-derived factors which activate multiple immunological mechanisms. The molecular bases for CRS remain unclear, although some factors commonly correspond to the disease: bacterial, fungal and viral infections, comorbidity diseases, genetic dysfunctions, and immunodeficiency. Additionally, air pollution leads increased severity of symptoms. CRS is a heterogeneous group of sinus diseases with different clinical courses and response to treatment. Immunological pathways vary depending on the endotype or genotype of the patient. The recent knowledge expansion into mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of CRS is leading to a steadily increasing significance of precision medicine in the treatment of CRS. The purpose of this review is to summarize the current state of knowledge regarding the immunological aspects of CRS, which are essential for ensuring more effective treatment strategies.

Abstract
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a common chronic inflammatory disease of the sinonasal mucosa with an inflammatory or infectious etiology. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) causes chronic intestinal inflammation. Thus, both diseases share innate immune and epithelial barrier dysfunctions of the mucosa. However, the association between sinusitis and IBD is not well-known. We aimed to determine the association between CRS and the risk for IBDs, such as Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). In this long-term retrospective cohort study, 15,175 patients with CRS and 30,350 patients without CRS (comparison group) were enrolled after 1:2 propensity score matching. The incidence rates of CD and UC were 0.22 and 0.51 (1000 person-years), respectively. The adjusted hazard ratio (HR) for developing CD and UC in CRS patients was 1.01 (95% confidence interval (CI), 0.66–1.54) and 1.72 (95% CI, 1.26–2.36), respectively. Additionally, in the subgroup analysis using the CRS phenotype, the adjusted HRs of UC were significantly increased in patients with CRS without nasal polyps (adjusted HR = 1.71; 95% CI, 1.24–2.35), but not in those with CRS with nasal polyps. CRS without nasal polyps is associated with an increased incidence of UC but not CD. Therefore, clinicians should pay attention to the early detection of UC when treating patients with CRS without nasal polyps.

Abstract
Hintergrund: Die chronische Rhinosinusitis mit Nasenpolypen (CRSwNP) ist eine multifaktorielle entzündliche Erkrankung der paranasalen Schleimhäute, der als Endotyp meistens eine Typ-2-Inflammation zugrunde liegt. Mittlerweile sind drei Antikörper (Dupilumab, Omalizumab und Mepolizumab) für die Therapie der schweren CRSwNP zugelassen. Eine Dokumentation der Erkrankungsschwere im Behandlungsverlauf ist unverzichtbar. Methoden: In einer Literaturrecherche in Medline, Pubmed sowie den nationalen und internationalen Studien- und Leitlinienregistern und der Cochrane Library wurde die Immunologie der CRSwNP analysiert und die Evidenz zur Wirkung von Dupilumab, Omalizumab und Mepolizumab bei dieser Erkrankung ermittelt. Hieraus wurden drei Positionspapiere durch unsere Autorengruppe erstellt, die Grundlage dieser zusammenfassenden Übersichtsarbeit sind. Ergebnisse: Basierend auf den Angaben aus der internationalen Literatur werden von einem Expertengremium Empfehlungen für die Anwendung von Dupilumab, Omalizumab und Mepolizumab bei CRSwNP im deutschen Gesundheitssystem gegeben. Schlussfolgerung: Dupilumab, Omalizumab und Mepolizumab sind zugelassen für Patienten ab 18 Jahren mit schwerer CRSwNP als Zusatztherapie zu intranasalen Glukokortikosteroiden (INCS), wenn, bei Dupilumab und Mepolizumab, durch eine Therapie mit systemischen Glukokortikosteroiden und/oder chirurgischem Eingriff keine ausreichende Krankheitskontrolle erzielt werden kann. Eine Therapie mit Omalizumab ist angezeigt, wenn eine Therapie mit INCS keine suffiziente Kontrolle der Erkrankung ergibt. Es werden dezidierte Empfehlungen zur Dokumentation der Anwendung im Deutschen Gesundheitssystem gegeben, die auf den hierzu bereits publizierten Positionspapieren unserer Autorengruppe basieren.

Abstract
Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is caused by prolonged inflammation of the paranasal sinus mucosa. The epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) is involved in the occurrence and development of CRSwNP. The T-cell immunoglobulin domain and the mucin domain 4 (TIM-4) is closely related to chronic inflammation, but its mechanism in CRSwNP is poorly understood. In our study, we found that TIM-4 was increased in the sinonasal mucosa of CRSwNP patients and, especially, in macrophages. TIM-4 was positively correlated with α-SMA but negatively correlated with E-cadherin in CRS. Moreover, we confirmed that TIM-4 was positively correlated with the clinical parameters of the Lund-Mackay and Lund-Kennedy scores. In the NP mouse model, administration of TIM-4 neutralizing antibody significantly reduced the polypoid lesions and inhibited the EMT process. TIM-4 activation by stimulating with tissue extracts of CRSwNP led to a significant increase of TGF-β1 expression in macrophages in vitro. Furthermore, coculture of macrophages and human nasal epithelial cells (hNECs) results suggested that the overexpression of TIM-4 in macrophages made a contribution to the EMT process in hNECs. Mechanistically, TIM-4 upregulated TGF-β1 expression in macrophages via the ROS/p38 MAPK/Egr-1 pathway. In conclusion, TIM-4 contributes to the EMT process and aggravates the development of CRSwNP by facilitating the production of TGF-β1 in macrophages. Inhibition of TIM-4 expression suppresses nasal polyp formation, which might provide a new therapeutic approach for CRSwNP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a group of heterogeneous diseases characterized by epithelial inflammation and tissue eosinophilic infiltration. IL-5, POSTN, and IL-33 are important factors that act as chemoattractants for eosinophils, and a tissue-remodeling protein positively correlated with eosinophils in blood and mediators of eosinophilic infiltration. The aim of the study was to determine the expression of IL-5, POSTN and IL-33, at the gene and protein levels, in eosinophilic CRS with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) and without nasal polyps (CRSsNP), and to correlate this expression with clinical severity. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study included 40 CRSwNP patients and 53 CRSsNP patients and 40 control subjects. The expression of IL-5, POSTN and IL-33 mRNA was determined in sinonasal mucosal samples and in nasal polyp tissue by real-time PCR. Protein levels in the serum of CRSwNP patients were measured by ELISA. Computed tomography was evaluated according to Lund-Mackay scores, and visual analog scale scores were assessed. RESULTS NP tissue demonstrated significantly higher IL-5 and POSTN mRNA expression than the sinonasal tissue in the CRSsNP and CRSwNP groups. CRS groups demonstrated elevated IL-33 mRNA expression in comparison to controls irrespective of the presence of NP. No correlation was found between IL-5, POSTN and IL-33 mRNA expression and disease severity. CRSwNP group demonstrated significantly higher serum IL-5, POSTN and IL-33 protein levels than controls, and this corresponds to disease severity. CONCLUSION Serum IL-5, POSTN and IL-33 levels may be important markers for classification of eosinophilic CRSwNP patients, along with disease severity.

Abstract
The respiratory tract is constantly at risk of invasion by microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi. In particular, the mucosal epithelium of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses is at the very forefront of the battles between the host and the invading pathogens. Recent studies have revealed that the epithelium not only constitutes a physical barrier but also takes an essential role in the activation of the immune system. One of the mechanisms equipped in the epithelium to fight against microorganisms is the Toll-like receptor (TLR) response. TLRs recognize common structural components of microorganisms and activate the innate immune system, resulting in the production of a plethora of cytokines and chemokines in the response against microbes. As the epithelia-derived cytokines are deeply involved in the pathogenesis of inflammatory conditions in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, such as chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and allergic rhinitis (AR), the molecules involved in the TLR response may be utilized as therapeutic targets for these diseases. There are several differences in the TLR response between nasal and bronchial epithelial cells, and knowledge of the TLR signals in the upper airway is sparse compared to that in the lower airway. In this review, we provide recent evidence on TLR signaling in the upper airway, focusing on the expression, regulation, and responsiveness of TLRs in human nasal epithelial cells (HNECs). We also discuss how TLRs in the epithelium are involved in the pathogenesis of, and possible therapeutic targeting, for CRS and AR.

Abstract
CRS with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a multifactorial disease, and various etiological factors like bacterial superantigens are known to develop this disease. Recent studies reported that Staphylococcus aureus nasal colonization was detected in 67% of the patients with CRSwNP. Moreover, it was reported that specific IgE against S. aureus enterotoxins are discovered in almost half of the nasal tissue homogenates from nasal polyps. Thus, investigations have highlighted the role of staphylococcal enterotoxins, especially enterotoxin B (SEB), in pathogenesis of CRSwNP. The destruction of mucosal integrity was reported as a main SEB-related pathogenic mechanisms in CRSwNP. SEB activates Toll Like Receptor 2 and triggers the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines; furthermore, it induces reactive oxygen species and endoplasmic reticulum stress-induced inflammation that may cause epithelial cell integrity disruption and enhance their permeability. SEB-induced Type 2/Th2 pathway results in degranulation of eosinophils, cationic proteins production, and localized eosinophilic inflammation. Furthermore, SEB may be involved in the expression of RORC and HIF-1α in Tregs and by maintaining the inflammation in sinonasal mucosa that could have a main role in the pathogenesis of nasal polyposis. Different in vitro findings were confirmed in animal studies; however, in vivo analysis of SEB-induced nasal polyps and CRS remains unfulfilled due to the lack of appropriate animal models. Finally, after elucidating different aspects of SEB pathogenesis in CRSwNP, therapeutic agents have been tested in recent studies with some encouraging results. The purpose of this article is to summarize the most important findings regarding SEB-induced CRS and nasal polyposis. Video Abstract

Abstract
Cytokines are well known to play a central role in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), particularly in maintenance of the inflammatory response and the recruitment of eosinophils. The pathophysiological concepts concerning the involvement of inflammatory cytokines in CRSwNP have gradually evolved. Although the Th2 cytokines environment associated with an eosinophilic infiltration has retained a central role in the genesis of polyps, the role of other cytokine subpopulations has also and more recently been detailed, leading to a specific and complex signature in CRSwNP. The purpose of this review is to summarize the current state of knowledge about the cytokine signature in CRSwNP, the role of cytokines in the pathogenesis of this disease and in the intercellular dialog between epithelial cells, fibroblasts and inflammatory cells. Knowledge of this precise cytokine signature in CRSwNP is fundamental in the perspective of potential targeting biotherapies.

Abstract
In the last 2 decades, an increasing understanding of pathophysiological mechanisms in chronic rhinosinusitis opened an avenue from phenotyping to endotyping, from eosinophilic inflammation to type 2 immunity, and from the "ventilation and drainage" paradigm to the mucosal concept for therapeutic considerations. With the advent of type 2 endotyping and targeted biomarkers, precise endotype-driven therapeutic options are possible including biologics and adapted surgical approaches. We here aim to focus on the complexity and heterogeneity of the features of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) endotypes, especially for those with nasal polyps, including its history, latest developments, clinical associations and endotype-driven solutions. In order to better manage uncontrolled severe CRS in clinical practice, medical decisions based on a profound understanding of the pathology and immunology of this heterogeneous disease, aiding a precision-medicine based approach for patient's treatment are pivotal.

Abstract
Zusammenfassung
Hintergrund Die chronische Rhinosinusitis mit Nasenpolypen (CRSwNP) ist eine multifaktorielle entzündliche Erkrankung der paranasalen Schleimhäute, der als Endotyp meistens eine TH2-Inflammation zugrunde liegt. IgE-Antikörper spielen dabei eine wichtige Rolle. Der anti-IgE-Antikörper Omalizumab wurde im August 2020 für die Therapie der schweren CRSwNP zugelassen.
Methoden In einer Literatursuche wurde die Immunologie der CRSwNP analysiert und die Evidenz zur Wirkung von Omalizumab bei dieser Erkrankung ermittelt durch Recherchen in Medline, Pubmed sowie den nationalen und internationalen Studien- und Leitlinien-Registern und der Cochrane Library.
Ergebnisse Basierend auf diesen Angaben aus der internationalen Literatur werden von einem Expertengremium Empfehlungen für die Anwendung von Omalizumab bei CRSwNP im deutschen Gesundheitssystem gegeben.
Schlussfolgerung Omalizumab ist zugelassen für Patienten ab 18 Jahren mit schwerer chronischer Rhinosinusitis mit Nasenpolypen als Zusatztherapie zu intranasalen Kortikosteroiden (INCS), wenn durch eine Therapie mit INCS keine ausreichende Krankheitskontrolle erzielt werden kann.

Abstract
(1) Background: Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is one of the most studied rhinological disorders. Modifications of the respiratory nasal mucosa in COVID-19 patients are so far unknown. This paper presents a comparative morphological characterization of the respiratory nasal mucosa in CRSwNP versus COVID-19 and tissue interleukin (IL)-33 concentration. (2) Methods: We analyzed CRSwNP and COVID-19 samples through histopathology, scanning and transmission electron microscopy and performed proteomic determination of IL-33. (3) Results: Histopathologically, stromal edema (p < 0.0001) and basal membrane thickening (p = 0.0768) were found more frequently in CRSwNP than in COVID-19. Inflammatory infiltrate was mainly eosinophil-dominant in CRSwNP and lymphocyte-dominant in COVID-19 (p = 0.3666). A viral cytopathic effect was identified in COVID-19. Scanning electron microscopy detected biofilms only in CRSwNP, while most COVID-19 samples showed microbial aggregates (p = 0.0148) and immune cells (p = 0.1452). Transmission electron microscopy of CRSwNP samples identified biofilms, mucous cell hyperplasia (p = 0.0011), eosinophils, fibrocytes, mastocytes, and collagen fibers. Extracellular suggestive structures for SARS-CoV-2 and multiple Golgi apparatus in epithelial cells were detected in COVID-19 samples. The tissue IL-33 concentration in CRSwNP (210.0 pg/7 μg total protein) was higher than in COVID-19 (52.77 pg/7 μg total protein) (p < 0.0001), also suggesting a different inflammatory pattern. (4) Conclusions: The inflammatory pattern is different in each of these disorders. Results suggested the presence of nasal dysbiosis in both conditions, which could be a determining factor in CRSwNP and a secondary factor in COVID-19.

Abstract
Background Tissue remodeling caused by increased MMPs is involved in the pathogenesis of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP). We previously found higher levels of periostin and tenascin C in CRSwNPs, but whether they are associated with the dysregulation of MMPs is unknown. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the regulatory roles of these two ECM proteins in the expression of MMPs in nasal polyps. Methods The concentrations of MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-7, MMP-8, MMP-9, MMP-12, MMP-13, TIMP-1, TIMP-2, TIMP-3, TIMP-4, periostin, and tenascin C in tissue homogenates of 51 patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with and without nasal polyps and 15 control subjects were measured and were analyzed by adjusted logistic regression and spearman correlation test. Primary human nasal polyp fibroblasts and epithelial cells were stimulated ex vivo with periostin and tenascin C and the gene expression of MMPs and TIMPs was determined by means of real-time PCR. Results The protein levels of MMP-3, MMP-7, MMP-8, MMP-9, TIMP-1, TIMP-2, periostin, and tenascin C were significantly higher in patients with CRSwNPs than in healthy control subjects. The adjusted logistic regression analyses showed that MMP-3, MMP-7, MMP-8, MMP-9, TIMP-2, periostin, and tenascin C were related to the occurrence of CRSwNP. Spearman correlation test showed periostin was positively correlated with MMP-3 and TIMP-2, and tenascin C was positively correlated with MMP-3, MMP-7, MMP-8, MMP-9, and TIMP-2. Periostin stimulated the gene expression of MMP-3, MMP-7, MMP-8, and MMP-9 in fibroblasts and MMP-9 in epithelial cells ex vivo. Tenascin C stimulated the expression of MMP-3, MMP-7, MMP-8, and MMP-9 in epithelial cells. The expression of TIMPs in fibroblasts and epithelial cells was affected by neither periostin nor tenascin C. Conclusions Periostin and tenascin C might be involved in the remodeling of nasal polyps by regulating the expression of different MMPs in epithelial cells and fibroblasts. Our findings have the potential to identify key factors of tissue remodeling in CRSwNPs.

Abstract
The nose is the first respiratory barrier to external pathogens, allergens, pollutants, or cigarette smoke, and vigorous immune responses are triggered when external pathogens come in contact with the nasal epithelium. The mucosal epithelial cells of the nose are essential to the innate immune response against external pathogens and transmit signals that modulate the adaptive immune response. The upper and lower airways share many physiological and immunological features, but there are also numerous differences. It is crucial to understand these differences and their contribution to pathophysiology in order to optimize treatments for inflammatory diseases of the respiratory tract. This review summarizes important differences in the embryological development, histological features, microbiota, immune responses, and cellular subtypes of mucosal epithelial cells of the nose and lungs.

Abstract
Purpose of Review Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP) is a phenotypic designation of the broader condition of chronic rhinosinusitis. The advent of targeted biologics has shown promise in targeting different aspects of the inflammatory pathway, yet there remains a lack of consensus on the correct timing and use of these medications. This review seeks to provide a concise update of the available literature on the pathophysiology of CRSwNP, the evolution and cost utility of biologics as it pertains to management of patients with CRSwNP, and evidence for each available biologic and its use in CRSwNP. Recent Findings There are two biologics with FDA approval for use in CRSwNP: dupilumab and omalizumab. Recent clinical trials of other biologic therapies targeting type 2 inflammatory pathways have also demonstrated efficacy both in symptom scores and nasal polyp reduction. However, studies have questioned the cost utility of these medications compared to other interventions. Furthermore, timing of use with respect to other interventions including surgery remains challenging.

Abstract
Introduction: Severe asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) and without nasal polyps (CRSsNP), are heterogeneous diseases characterized by different mechanistic pathways (endotypes) and variable clinical presentations (phenotypes).Areas covered: This review provides the clinician with an overview of the prevalence and clinical impact of severe chronic upper and lower airways disease and suggests a novel therapeutic approach with biological agents with possible biomarkers. To select relevant literature for inclusion in this review, we conducted a literature search using the PubMed database, using terms 'severe airways disease' AND 'endotype' AND 'treatment.' The literature review was performed for publication years 2010-2020, restricting the articles to humans and English language publications.Expert opinion: The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has brought forth many challenges for patients with severe airway disease and healthcare practitioners involved in care. These patients could have an increased risk of developing severe SARS-CoV-2 disease, although treatment with biologics is not associated with a worse prognosis. Eosinopenia on hospital admission plays a key role as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The expression of metalloproteinases (MMPs) in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP) was reviewed in order to investigate their possible use as therapeutical targets and/or biomarkers. METHODOLOGY The differences between CRSwNP and normal controls or CRS without NP, as well as the effects of various treatments on MMPs, tissue inhibitors of MMPs (TIMPs) and MMP/TIMP ratios were considered as primary outcomes. Additional factors reported to affect MMP expression levels were noted as secondary outcomes. Data regarding inflammatory subtypes, patients’ clinical characteristics, controls, laboratory method(s) and origin of samples were also pooled. Studies on 10 or fewer patients or on specimens other than nasal and serum were excluded. RESULTS Forty-three studies were included. Tissue sample origin, allergic rhinitis, smoking, infection, medication intake and primary or recurrent disease should be considered as confounding factors for MMP levels. MMP-1 and -7 were consistently found to be significantly higher in CRSwNP patients than controls. CRSwNP endotypes with distinctly different inflammation patterns seem to present similar MMP-related remodelling patterns. CONCLUSIONS The existing literature has revealed several population and methodology related confounding factors and remains inconclusive regarding the roles of MMPs in CRSwNP pathophysiology and their possible clinical usefulness as biomarkers and therapeutical targets.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Pathogenesis of nasal polyp has been largely studied based on innate and adaptive immunity of sinonasal mucosa. So far, various factors have been identified that trigger an inflammatory response in the pathogenesis of nasal polyps. In this review, we summarized recently updated information in the understanding of mechanisms in the development of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyp (CRSwNP) focusing on Th2 inflammation. RECENT FINDINGS Endotype of CRSwNP presented mainly Th2-skewed inflammation, and it has been associated with refractoriness and comorbidities. Staphylococcus aureus can drive Th2 inflammation by producing enterotoxins and serine protease-like protein. Moreover, S. aureus directly affected mucosal barrier function and enhanced Th2 cytokine production by fast induction of epithelial-derived innate cytokines. Epithelial-derived innate cytokines, including TSLP, IL-25, and IL-33, promote Th2 responses via the development of innate lymphoid cells. Mast cell expresses IL-5, IL-13, and periostin, and it plays a role in the pathogenesis of nasal polyps through orchestrating eosinophil infiltration. Formation of eosinophil extracellular traps and Charcot-Leyden crystals is strongly associated with disease severity and viscous mucus plug production. Therefore, it needs to be investigated mechanistically. The role of neutrophils in Th2 inflammation has been poorly understood but appears to enhance Th2 inflammation and make it more resistant to steroid therapy. SUMMARY There is growing evidence of the role of S. aureus in innate and adaptive immunity, which contribute to Th2 inflammation in CRSwNP. Innate immunity, including epithelial-derived cytokines, plays a crucial role in the development of CRSwNP by inducing various pathways and need to be investigated more as Th2-targeted biomarkers. Recently, the role of neutrophilic inflammation in Th2 inflammation has started to be studied but still remains unclear.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE The traditional Japanese herbal medicine Shin'iseihaito was reported to ameliorate the airway type 2 inflammatory response in clinical and experimental studies. Airway type 2 inflammatory diseases, including bronchial asthma and eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis (ECRS), often coexist and interact with each other. However, it is still unclear how Shin'iseihaito exerts its pharmacological effects on cells involved in airway mucosa. AIM OF THE STUDY This study aims to examine the direct effect of baicalin, a representative bioactive compound of Shin'iseihaito, on type 2 immune responses in human airway epithelial cells and mast cells. MATERIAL AND METHODS We measured the plasma pharmacokinetics of flavonoids derived from Shin'iseihaito and investigated the effects of baicalin on type 2 immune responses in human airway epithelial cells and human mast cells. RESULTS Baicalin, wogonin, and wogonoside were detected in the plasma. The maximum plasma concentration of baicalin was highest at 1610 ng/ml (3.6 μM). In the normal human bronchial epithelial cells treated with baicalin, with or without stimulation by IFN-γ, the IL-33 expression was significantly downregulated. However, baicalin treatment did not affect the levels of thymic stromal lymphopoietin and IL-25. We noted that IL-33-dependent expression of tryptase mRNA in mast cells was significantly inhibited by baicalin. Also, the expression of IL-5 in mast cells enhanced by stimulation with TSLP plus IL-1β was significantly downregulated by baicalin treatment. Moreover, the enhancement of IL-13 expression in mast cells by IL-33 simulation was also significantly inhibited by baicalin. CONCLUSIONS Our results prove that by breaking off the vicious circle of mast cells and airway epithelial cells, baicalin may be an effective alternative therapeutic option for the treatment of type 2 inflammatory diseases, such as ECRS and comorbid asthma.

Abstract
Adenoid hypertrophy (AH) is a common pediatric disease caused by inflammatory stimulation. The pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-32 has been reported to promote airway inflammation and also be involved in the pyroptosis pathway. However, whether IL-32 can contribute to AH by mediating pyroptosis remains to be elucidated. The present study aimed to investigate the role of IL-32 in AH and determine the potential underlying mechanisms. Adenoid tissues were collected from healthy children and children with AH, and the expression of IL-32, NACHT LRR and PYD domains-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) and IL-1β in normal and hypertrophic tissues were measured. Human nasal epithelial cells (HNEpCs) were exposed to a series of IL-32 concentrations. HNEpCs with or without IL-32 silencing were stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and cell proliferation, cell apoptosis, gasdermin D (GSDMD) activation, production of inflammatory cytokines and the expression levels of proteins related to the potential mechanisms were evaluated by Cell Counting Kit-8, flow cytometry, immunofluorescence staining, ELISA and western blot assays, respectively. The results showed that IL-32, NLRP3 and IL-1β exhibited higher expression in adenoid tissues with AH compared with normal tissues. In HNEpC cells, treatment with IL-32 (2 and 10 ng/ml) promoted cell proliferation, while 50 ng/ml IL-32 inhibited cell proliferation at 12, 24 and 48 h post-treatment. IL-32 (2, 10 and 50 ng/ml) also resulted in differing degrees of apoptosis, GSDMD activation, release of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α, and increased protein expression levels of NLRP3, cleaved-caspase-1, activated GSDMD, nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-containing protein (NOD) 1/2 and Toll-like receptor (TLR)4 in a concentration-dependent manner. In addition, compared with the LPS group, IL-32 knockdown significantly inhibited LPS-induced enhancement of cell proliferation, cell apoptosis, GSDMD activation and production of inflammatory cytokines, and reversed the increased protein expression of NLRP3, cleaved-caspase-1, activated GSDMD, NOD1/2 and TLR4. In conclusion, IL-32 may play a role in the progression of AH via promoting inflammation, and the potential mechanism may involve the activation of NLRP3-mediated pyroptosis.

Effect of lipopolysaccharide and polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid in a murine model of nasal polyp. Sci Rep 2021; 11:1021.

Abstract
Several factors, including bacterial and viral infections, have been associated with rhinosinusitis and nasal tissue remodelling that may result in nasal polyp formation. However, the potential role of bacterial or viral stimuli triggering polyp development is unclear. Here, we used lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid [poly(I:C)] in a murine model of allergic rhinosinusitis to compare different effects of bacterial- and virus-derived stimuli in the pathogenesis of nasal polyp formation. Briefly, BALB/c mice were sensitised and challenged with ovalbumin and staphylococcal enterotoxin, with or without LPS or poly(I:C), and the consequent histopathological profiles, cytokines, and systemic humoral responses were studied. While no significant differences in polyp formations and epithelial disruptions were observed among the experimental groups, the local cell recruitment patterns slightly differed in animals that received either LPS or poly(I:C). Additionally, the local immune environments generated by LPS or poly(I:C) stimulation varied. LPS stimulation induced a marked Th1/Th17 response and predominantly neutrophilic nasal polyp formations, whereas poly(I:C) induced a Th2-skewed environment in neutrophilic nasal polyp development. Overall, our findings show that both cell recruitment patterns and local immune environments induced by these two stimuli differ, which may have implications in the physiopathology of rhinosinusitis with nasal polyp.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The pathological features of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) tissues include an eosinophilic infiltration pattern (eosinophilic CRS (ECRS)) or a less eosinophilic pattern (non-ECRS). Recently, it has been suggested that 15-lipoxygenase 1 (15-LOX-1) may have significant roles in allergic disease; however, the significance of 15-LOX-1 in CRS is not well understood. The objective of this study was to demonstrate the expression of 15-LOX-1 in CRS. METHODS The mRNA expression levels of 15-LOX-1 and periostin in nasal tissues were measured by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. We also performed an immunofluorescence study of nasal tissues. Cells of the Eol-1 eosinophilic leukemic cell line were stimulated with interleukin-33 to test the induction of 15-LOX-1. RESULTS The expression level of 15-LOX-1 mRNA in nasal polyps (NPs) was significantly higher in ECRS patients than in non-ECRS patients. The immunofluorescence study revealed that both airway epithelial cells and eosinophils in NPs expressed 15-LOX-1. A significant correlation was seen between the number of eosinophils and the mRNA expression levels of 15-LOX-1 and periostin in nasal polyps. Moreover, interleukin-33 enhanced 15-LOX-1 expression in Eol-1 cells. CONCLUSIONS 15-LOX-1 was shown to be a significant molecule that facilitates eosinophilic inflammation in ECRS.

Abstract
BackgroundEpithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) is associated with the pathophysiology of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyp (CRSwNP). Wnt signaling is causative for EMT, whereas the mechanism in CRSwNP is not fully understood.ObjectiveWe sought to evaluate the role of Wnt signaling in EMT of CRSwNP using a murine nasal polyp (NP) model and human tissues.MethodsInflammatory markers and EMT-related molecules were evaluated in NP models using adenomatosis polyposis coli (Apc)Min/+ mice with activated Wnt signaling and NP models treated with Wnt signaling inhibitor, indocyanine green-001 (ICG-001). EMT markers and Wnt signaling-associated mediators were analysed using human sinonasal tissues from control subjects and CRSwNP patients.ResultsApcMin/+ mice-induced NPs exhibited more frequent polypoid lesions and upregulation of Wnt-related molecules, including nuclear β-catenin, WNT3A and cyclin D1. Markers of EMT were significantly overexpressed in the ApcMin/+ NP mice (p<0.001 for E-cadherin and α-smooth muscle actin), and interleukin (IL)-17A+ cells and neutrophilic infiltration were increased in ApcMin/+ NP mice (p<0.001). Inhibition of Wnt signaling via ICG-001 resulted in significantly decreased nasal polypoid lesions (p<0.001), EMT-related markers (p=0.019 for E-cadherin and p=0.002 for vimentin) and the mRNA levels of IL-4 (p<0.001) and IL-17A (p=0.004) compared with the positive control group. Finally, nuclear β-catenin (p=0.042) was significantly increased compared with the control, and the expression levels of Wnt ligands and receptors were upregulated in human NP tissues (p=0.045 for WNT3A and p=0.042 for FZD2), suggesting increased Wnt signaling and EMT in CRSwNP.ConclusionWnt signaling may contribute to the pathogenesis of NPs through EMT. Therefore, inhibition of Wnt signaling may be a potential therapeutic strategy for patients with CRSwNP.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To review the current literature regarding the role of biologics in the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP). DATA SOURCES PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Review, ClinicalTrials.gov. REVIEW METHODS We conducted a comprehensive review of the literature on clinical studies investigating the efficacy of emerging biologics in CRSwNP, with a focus on randomized controlled trials. CONCLUSIONS There appears to be promising evidence to support the safety and efficacy of biologics in CRSwNP with and without asthma for select patients. However, additional large-scale randomized studies with longer follow-up are necessary to determine which patients would benefit the most from these novel systemic treatments. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis refractory to medical and surgical therapy remains a challenging clinical problem for otolaryngologists. However, emerging biologic therapies may offer a new therapeutic option for such patients with recalcitrant disease.

Abstract
PURPOSE Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps can be classified as eosinophilic or neutrophilic based on the major inflammatory cell type in the tissue. There is a need for predictive parameters to enable rhinologists to identify the type of nasal polyp in a patient without surgery. The aim of the present study was to test the predictive value of the markers of inflammation to estimate eosinophilic nasal polyps. METHODS The study analyzed 299 patients who underwent sinus surgery for nasal polyps from 2012 to 2019. Patients were divided into two groups according to pathology results (eosinophilic polyps = group 1, neutrophilic polyps = group 2). The values of preoperative complete blood count, systemic immune inflammation index, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio were compared. RESULTS In our series, results of ROC analyses for both mean eosinophil count and systemic immune inflammation index were statistically significant. For the eosinophil count (AUC = 0.681, p < 0.001) and systemic immune inflammation index (AUC = 0.621, p = 0.001). Patients with an eosinophil cut-off value of 0.25 cells × 109/L had ORs of 49.27 (95% CI 11.68-207.81) and sensitivity: 0.69, specificity: 0.64. Patients with a systemic immune inflammation index cut-off value of 332.39 had ORs of 1.003 (95% CI 1.002-1.004) and sensitivity: 0.84, specificity: 0.39. CONCLUSION The systemic immune inflammation index and absolute blood eosinophil count could be used to predict nasal polyp subtypes before surgery. We believe that systemic immune inflammation index should also be studied to estimate postoperative recurrence.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a common and heterogeneous inflammatory condition, for which the drivers of the underlying inflammation are not yet fully understood. The use of biologic therapies to target specifically relevant effector cells or cytokines in CRSwNP is a growing field of interest. The objectives of this review are to provide an update on the existing studies of biologics in CRSwNP and to identify potential future areas for further research. DATA SOURCES An initial literature review of biologic therapies in CRS was performed through publications gathered from a PubMed search for title/abstract containing "biologic" and "chronic rhinosinusitis." Further manuscripts describing scientific premise for each biologic were then reviewed. STUDY SELECTIONS A detailed review of all studies describing biologic therapies targeting inflammation in CRSwNP was performed. RESULTS Biologic therapies targeting interleukin (IL)-4Rα, IL-5, IL-5Rα, IL-33, immunoglobulin (Ig)E, and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) have all been developed and have been investigated for treatment in CRSwNP, or current research suggests that they may have utility in this area. Only dupilumab, which inhibits IL-4Rα, has gained Food and Drug Administration approval for the treatment of adults with inadequately controlled CRSwNP. CONCLUSION Recent advances in our understanding of the fundamental drivers of the chronic respiratory inflammation in CRSwNP has led to the identification of several potential therapeutic targets for this disease. Future clinical success will rely on the availability of biomarker-based endotyping and responder analyses so that clinicians can precisely match each patient to the appropriate biologic, thereby optimizing the proper treatment strategy.

Abstract
Our understanding of the pathophysiology of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is continuously evolving. The traditional description of CRS in terms of two phenotypes based on the presence or absence of nasal polyps belies the underlying intricate immunopathophysiological processes responsible for this condition. CRS is being increasingly recognized as a disease spectrum encompassing a range of inflammatory states in the sinonasal cavity, with non-type 2 inflammatory disease on one end, type 2 inflammatory, eosinophil-heavy disease on the other and an overlap of both in different proportions in between. Abundance in research on the immune mechanisms of CRS has revealed various new endotypes that hold promise as biomarkers for the development of targeted therapies in severe, uncontrolled CRS. The introduction of precision medicine to manage this chronic, complex condition is a step forward in providing individualized care for all patients with CRS. In this review, the latest research on the pathophysiology of CRS with a focus on potential novel biomarkers and treatment options over the last 2 years are summarized and integrated into a suggested model of precision medicine in CRS.

Abstract
The current document is based on a consensus reached by a panel of experts from the Chinese Society of Allergy and the Chinese Society of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Rhinology Group. Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) affects approximately 8% of Chinese adults. The inflammatory and remodeling mechanisms of CRS in the Chinese population differ from those observed in the populations of European descent. Recently, precision medicine has been used to treat inflammation by targeting key biomarkers that are involved in the process. However, there are no CRS guidelines or a consensus available from China that can be shared with the international academia. The guidelines presented in this paper cover the epidemiology, economic burden, genetics and epigenetics, mechanisms, phenotypes and endotypes, diagnosis and differential diagnosis, management, and the current status of CRS in China. These guidelines-with a focus on China-will improve the abilities of clinical and medical staff during the treatment of CRS. Additionally, they will help international agencies in improving the verification of CRS endotypes, mapping of eosinophilic shifts, the identification of suitable biomarkers for endotyping, and predicting responses to therapies. In conclusion, these guidelines will help select therapies, such as pharmacotherapy, surgical approaches and innovative biotherapeutics, which are tailored to each of the individual CRS endotypes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Immunologic function in innate and adaptive immunity changes with the ageing process. Thus, age-related cytokine profiles in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) need to be investigated for precision medicine. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to characterize age-related changes in immunologic profiles according to CRS subtypes. METHODS Subjects in control (n = 29), CRS without nasal polyps (CRSsNP, n = 86), and CRS with nasal polyps (eosinophilic NP: ENP, n = 81; non-eosinophilic NP: NENP, n = 113) were enrolled in this study. Twenty markers for type 1/2/3 inflammation and other inflammatory processes were measured in homogenates of sinonasal tissues and statistically analysed. RESULTS In control tissues, type 2/3 and proinflammatory mediators showed an inverse correlation with age. CRSsNP and NENP showed an age-related increase in type 2 cytokines and a decline in type 3 cytokines. Interestingly, the age-related decrease in type 3 mediators was associated with those of CT scores in NENP. ENP showed an age-related increase in type 3 cytokines with type 2 mediators sustained at high levels. Smokers with ENP demonstrated age-associated increases in type 1/2/3 mediators as well as CT scores. These age-related patterns in each CRS were confirmed by statistically adjusting atopy status, smoking history, and disease duration. CONCLUSION Age-associated cytokine changes differed among CRS subtypes and control tissues. CRSsNP and NENP demonstrated a decline in type 3 mediators and increase in type 2 mediators, whereas type 3 mediators increased with age in ENP.

Abstract
PURPOSE The Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) signaling pathway is involved in the pathogenesis of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) with nasal polyposis. The aim of this study was to assess the therapeutic potential of the TLR9 pathway inhibitor chloroquine in CRS mice. METHODS The expression of type I interferons (IFNs) in human CRS tissues was evaluated using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), western blotting, and immunofluorescence. Mice were divided into 4 treatment groups: the control, nasal polyp (NP), chloroquine treatment (NP + Chlq), and dexamethasone treatment (NP + Dexa) groups. The effects of chloroquine on polyp formation and mucosal inflammation were examined by hematoxylin and eosin staining. The expression levels of type I IFN, B-cell activating factor (BAFF), TLR9, high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), and proinflammatory cytokine expression levels were assessed using qPCR, western blot, or enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS IFN-α and IFN-β mRNA levels were significantly higher in patients with eosinophilic NPs (EPs) than in healthy individuals or non-EP patients. The polyp score, epithelial thickness, mucosal thickness, and the number of eosinophils in nasal mucosa were significantly higher in the NP group compared with the control, NP + Chlq, and NP + Dexa groups. NP + Chlq or NP + Dexa significantly suppressed the induction of type I IFN and BAFF expression in the NP group; these treatments also significantly suppressed the induction of TLR9, HMGB1, interferon regulatory factors, interleukin (IL)-6, IL-1β, tumor necrosis factor-α, and Th cytokine expression in the NP group. The secreted levels of anti-dsDNA Immunoglobulin G (IgG) were significantly higher in the NP group than in the control, NP + Chlq, and NP + Dexa groups. There were significant positive correlations between BAFF and mRNA levels of IFN-α/β/the protein levels of anti-dsDNA IgG. CONCLUSIONS Chloroquine may be used for the treatment of patients with eosinophilic CRS.

Altered Mitochondrial Functions and Morphologies in Epithelial Cells Are Associated With Pathogenesis of Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Nasal Polyps.

[PMID: 32400131 PMCID: PMC7224996 DOI: 10.4168/aair.2020.12.4.653] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/07/2019] [Revised: 02/16/2020] [Accepted: 02/25/2020] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
Purpose Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a complex inflammatory disease of the nasal and paranasal sinus mucosa. The disease is associated with mitochondrial dysfunction, structural changes in the mitochondria, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. This study investigated whether there are functional and morphological changes in the mitochondria in the epithelial cells of nasal polyps (NPs) and Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin B (SEB)-stimulated nasal epithelial cells. Methods In all, 30 patients with CRSwNP and 15 healthy subjects were enrolled. Mitochondrial ROS (mtROS) and changes in mitochondrial functions and structures were investigated in the uncinate tissue (UT) of healthy controls, the UT or NPs of CRSwNP patients, and human nasal epithelial cells with or without SEB stimulation. Results Oxidative phosphorylation complexes showed various responses following SEB stimulation in the nasal epithelial cells, and their expressions were significantly higher in the NPs of patients with CRSwNP than in the UT of controls. Generation of mtROS was increased following SEB exposure in nasal epithelial cells and was reduced by pretreatment with MitoTEMPO, which is used as an mtROS scavenger. In the tissues, mtROS was significantly increased in the NPs of CRSwNP patients compared to the UT of controls or CRSwNP patients. The expressions of fusion- and fission-related molecules were also significantly higher in SEB-exposed nasal epithelial cells than in non-exposed cells. In tissues, the expression of fission (fission mediator protein 1)- and fusion (membrane and mitofusin-1, and optic atrophy protein 1)-related molecules was significantly higher in the NPs of CRSwNP patients than in UT of controls or CRSwNP patients. Transmission electron microscopy revealed elongated mitochondria in SEB-exposed nasal epithelial cells and epithelial cells of NPs. Conclusions Production of mtROS, disrupted mitochondrial function, and structural changes in nasal epithelial cells might be involved in the pathogenesis of CRSwNP.

ALLERGY, ASTHMA & IMMUNOLOGY RESEARCH 2020; 12:42-55. [PMID: 31743963 PMCID: PMC6875473 DOI: 10.4168/aair.2020.12.1.42] [Citation(s) in RCA: 36] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2019] [Revised: 08/25/2019] [Accepted: 08/30/2019] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
Purpose Various immune cells, including eosinophils and neutrophils, are known to contribute to the development of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). However, the current understanding of the role of neutrophils in the development of CRSwNP still remains unclear. Therefore, we investigated risk factors for refractoriness of CRSwNP in an Asian population. Methods Protein levels of 17 neutrophil-related mediators in nasal polyps (NPs) were determined by multiplex immunoassay, and exploratory factor analysis using principal component analysis was performed. Immunofluorescence analysis was conducted to detect human neutrophil elastase (HNE) or myeloperoxidase (MPO)-positive cells. Tissue eosinophilic nasal polyp (ENP) and tissue neutrophilia (Neuhigh) were defined as greater than 70 eosinophils and 20 HNE-positive cells, otherwise was classified into non-eosinophilic nasal polyp (NENP) and absence of tissue neutrophilia (Neulow). Results In terms of disease control status, NENP-Neulow patients showed the higher rate of disease control than NENP-Neuhigh and ENP-Neuhigh patients. Linear by linear association demonstrated the trend in refractoriness from NENP-Neulow to NENP-Neuhigh or ENP-Neulow to ENP-Neuhigh. When multiple logistic regression was performed, tissue neutrophilia (hazard ratio, 4.38; 95% confidence interval, 1.76-10.85) was found as the strongest risk factor for CRSwNP refractoriness. Additionally, exploratory factor analysis revealed that interleukin (IL)-18, interferon-γ, IL-1Ra, tumor necrosis factor-α, oncostatin M, and MPO were associated with good disease control status, whereas IL-36α and IL-1α were associated with refractory disease control status. In subgroup analysis, HNE-positive cells and IL-36α were significantly upregulated in the refractory group (P = 0.0132 and P = 0.0395, respectively), whereas MPO and IL-18 showed higher expression in the controlled group (P = 0.0002 and P = 0.0009, respectively). Moreover, immunofluorescence analysis revealed that IL-36R+HNE+-double positive cells were significantly increased in the refractory group compared to the control group. We also found that the ratio of HNE-positive cells to α1 anti-trypsin was increased in the refractory group. Conclusions Tissue neutrophilia had an influence on treatment outcomes in the Asian CRSwNP patients. HNE-positive cells and IL-36α may be biomarkers for predicting refractoriness in Asians with CRSwNP. Additionally, imbalances in HNE and α1 anti-trypsin may be associated with pathophysiology of neutrophilic chronic rhinosinusitis.
