Abstract
BACKGROUND SERPINB2, a biomarker of Type-2 (T2) inflammatory processes, has been described in the context of asthma. Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is also correlated with T2 inflammation and elevated 15LO1 induced by IL-4/13 in nasal epithelial cells. The aim of this study was to evaluate the expression and location of SERPINB2 in nasal epithelial cells (NECs) and determine whether SERPINB2 regulates 15LO1 and downstream T2 markers in NECs via STAT6 signalling. METHODS SERPINB2 gene expression in bulk and single-cell RNAseq database was analysed by bioinformatics analysis. SERPINB2, 15LO1 and other T2 markers were evaluated from CRSwNP and HCs NECs. The colocalization of SERPINB2 and 15LO1 was evaluated by immunofluorescence. Fresh NECs were cultured at an air-liquid interface with or without IL-13, SERPINB2 Dicer-substrate short interfering RNAs (DsiRNAs) transfection, exogenous SERPINB2, 15-HETE recombinant protein and pSTAT6 inhibitors. 15LO1, 15-HETE and downstream T2 markers were analysed by qRT-PCR, western blot and ELISA. RESULTS SERPINB2 expression was increased in eosinophilic nasal polyps compared with that in noneosinophilic nasal polyps and control tissues and positively correlated with 15LO1 and other downstream T2 markers. SERPINB2 was predominantly expressed by epithelial cells in NP tissue and was colocalized with 15LO1. In primary NECs in vitro, SERPINB2 expression was induced by IL-13. Knockdown or overexpression SERPINB2 decreased or enhanced expression of 15LO1 and 15-HETE in NECs, respectively, in a STAT6-dependent manner. SERPINB2 siRNA also inhibited the expression of the 15LO1 downstream genes, such as CCL26, POSTN and NOS2. STAT6 inhibition similarly decreased SERPINB2-induced 15LO1. CONCLUSIONS SERPINB2 is increased in NP epithelial cells of eosinophilic CRSwNP (eCRSwNP) and contributes to T2 inflammation via STAT6 signalling. SERPINB2 could be considered a novel therapeutic target for eCRSwNP.

Abstract
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is known to elicit a robust immune response. This study aimed to investigate the impact of LPS on the transcriptome of human nasal epithelial cells (HNEpC). HNEpC were cultured and stimulated with LPS (1 μg/mL) or an equivalent amount of normal culture medium. Subsequently, total RNA was extracted, purified, and sequenced using next-generation RNA sequencing technology. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified and subjected to functional enrichment analysis. A protein-protein interaction (PPI) network of DEGs was constructed, followed by Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) to identify molecular pathways influenced by LPS exposure on HNEpC. Validation of key genes was performed using quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). A total of 97 DEGs, comprising 48 up-regulated genes and 49 down-regulated genes, were identified. Results from functional enrichment analysis, PPI, and IPA indicated that DEGs were predominantly enriched in chemokine-related signaling pathways. Subsequent qRT-PCR validation demonstrated significant upregulation of key genes in these pathways in LPS-treated HNEpC compared to control cells. In conclusion, LPS intervention profoundly altered the transcriptome of HNEpC, potentially exacerbating inflammatory responses through the activation of chemokine-related signaling pathways.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute lung injury (ALI) is the most common complication and one of the leading causes of mortality of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). Nevertheless, no effective therapeutic schemes are presently available. AIMS To investigate the effect and potential mechanism of mesenteric lymph duct ligation (MLDL) on experimental SAP-induced ALI. METHODS Immediately following MLDL, rats were subjected to SAP by retrograde injection of 5% sodium taurocholate into the biliopancreatic duct. At 24 h after modeling, tissues were collected for morphological examination. The levels of TNF-α, IL-6, intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM1), diamine oxidase (DAO), and D-lactic acid (D-LA) in serum, and the myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity in lung tissues were determined. Moreover, the expressions of high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), receptor of advanced glycation endproducts (RAGE), and NF-κB p65 at the mRNA and protein levels in lung tissues, and the expressions of HMGB1, RAGE, and TNF-α at the mRNA level in intestinal lymphoid tissues were evaluated. RESULTS MLDL significantly attenuated the histological injury of the pancreas and lung and reduced the production of TNF-α, IL-6, and ICAM1. Besides, MLDL repressed the activity of MPO in the lung. However, the levels of serum DAO and D-LA were decreased without obvious morphological improvement in intestinal injury. Moreover, MLDL apparently reduced the up-regulation of HMGB1, RAGE, and NF-κB p65 in lung tissues, as well as the expressions of HMGB1, RAGE, and TNF-α in intestinal lymphoid tissues. CONCLUSIONS Mesenteric lymph was a source of harmful factors leading to SAP-ALI. MLDL could alleviate SAP-ALI probably by inhibiting HMGB1-induced production of inflammation factors.
