Abstract
Objective
To investigate the role of S100A8 in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) and assess its value in predicting disease recurrence after surgery.
Methods
Thirty healthy controls (HC), 30 patients with chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyp (CRSsNP), and 60 patients with CRSwNP were enrolled. Serum S100A8 concentration was measured by ELISA. Immunohistochemistry (IHC), western blotting (WB), and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR)were performed to examine tissue expression levels of S100A8. The potential values of S100A8 in predicting postoperative recurrence of CRSwNP were assessed by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC)curve.
Results
Serum S100A8 concentrations in the CRSwNP group were higher than the HC group and the CRSsNP group， especially in the recurrent CRSwNP group (P < 0.05). Serum S100A8 levels were positively correlated with peripheral blood eosinophil numbers (r = 0.263, P = 0.043) and percentages (r = 0.336, P = 0.009), tissue eosinophil percentages (r = 0.273, P = 0.035), VAS score (r = 0.385, P = 0.002) and Lund-Kennedy score (r = 0.283, P = 0.029). IHC, WB, and RT-PCR results showed tissue S100A8 expression was significantly enhanced in the CRSwNP group, especially in the recurrence group (P < 0.05). Binary regression analysis showed that serum S100A8 concentration and tissue eosinophil percentage were correlated with postoperative recurrence of CRSwNP. ROC curve analysis showed that compared with tissue eosinophil percentage, the S100A8 level had a higher value for postoperative recurrence of CRSwNP.
Conclusion
Serum and tissue S100A8 levels were elevated in patients with CRSwNP， especially in the recurrent CRSwNP patients, and were correlated with the degree of peripheral blood and tissue eosinophilic inflammation. S100A8 seemed to be a potential objective biomarker to predict the postoperative recurrence of CRSwNP.
