Exhaled Nitric Oxide and Olfactory Dysfunction in Patients with Asthma: Association with Chronic Rhinosinusitis. MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2023; 59:1776. [PMID: 37893494 PMCID: PMC10608782 DOI: 10.3390/medicina59101776] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2023] [Revised: 09/27/2023] [Accepted: 10/03/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023]
Abstract
Objectives: Olfactory dysfunction is a clinical sign that is important to detect with coexistent upper airway comorbidities in patients with asthma. This study aimed to investigate the etiology of olfactory dysfunction in patients with asthma and the relationship between fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) levels. Materials and Methods: This study included 47 asthma patients who were evaluated for olfactory dysfunction at Hiroshima University Hospital between 2012 and 2020. The etiologies of olfactory dysfunction were evaluated, and they were classified according to the FeNO levels of patients with asthma. Results: Olfactory dysfunction was observed in 30 patients with asthma, with chronic rhinosinusitis (77%) being the most prevalent etiology. Eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis (ECRS) was the most prevalent etiology of olfactory dysfunction in asthma patients with high FeNO levels (≥25 ppb), while non-eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis (NCRS) was the most prevalent etiology in asthma patients with low FeNO levels (<25 ppb). Additionally, the prevalence of ECRS was significantly higher in asthma patients with olfactory dysfunction and high FeNO levels (74%) than in those with either high FeNO levels or olfactory dysfunction and those with low FeNO levels and no olfactory dysfunction (12% and 9%, respectively). Conclusions: We found that ECRS was the predominant cause of olfactory dysfunction in patients with high FeNO levels, while NCRS was more common in those with low FeNO levels. The present study showed that both ECRS and NCRS are common etiologies of olfactory dysfunction in patients with asthma. Additionally, this study supports the link between upper and lower airway inflammation in patients with asthma complicated with olfactory dysfunction.

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.

The Unified Airway Hypothesis: Evidence From Specific Intervention With Anti-IL-5 Biologic Therapy. THE JOURNAL OF ALLERGY AND CLINICAL IMMUNOLOGY. IN PRACTICE 2023; 11:2630-2641.

Abstract
The unified airway hypothesis proposes that upper and lower airway diseases reflect a single pathological process manifesting in different locations within the airway. Functional, epidemiological, and pathological evidence has supported this well-established hypothesis for some time. However, literature on the pathobiologic roles/therapeutic targeting of eosinophils and IL-5 in upper and lower airway diseases (including asthma, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps [CRSwNP], and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug-exacerbated respiratory disease) has recently emerged. This narrative review revisits the unified airway hypothesis by searching the scientific literature for recent learnings and clinical trial/real-world data that provide a novel perspective on its relevance for clinicians. According to the available literature, eosinophils and IL-5 have important pathophysiological roles in both the upper and lower airways, although the impact of eosinophils and IL-5 may vary in asthma and CRSwNP. Some differential effects of anti-IL-5 and anti-IL-5-receptor therapies in CRSwNP have been observed, requiring further investigation. However, pharmaceutical targeting of eosinophils and IL-5 in patients with upper, lower, and comorbid upper and lower airway inflammation has led to clinical benefit, supporting the hypothesis that these are linked conditions manifesting in different locations. Consideration of this approach may improve patient care and aid clinical decision making.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) has a high recurrence rate after surgery despite the availability of medical treatments. Multiple clinical and biological factors have been associated with poor post-operative outcomes in patients with CRSwNP. However, these factors and their prognostic values have not yet been extensively summarized. AREAS COVERED This systematic review included 49 cohort studies exploring the prognostic factors for post-operative outcomes in CRSwNP. A total of 7802 subjects and 174 factors were included. All investigated factors were classified into three categories according to their predictive value and evidence quality, of which 26 factors were considered plausible for post-operative outcome prediction. Previous nasal surgery, ethmoid-to-maxillary (E/M) ratio, fractional exhaled nitric oxide, tissue eosinophil count or percentage, tissue neutrophil count, tissue IL-5, tissue eosinophil cationic protein, and CLC or IgE in nasal secretion provided more reliable information for prognosis in at least two studies. EXPERT OPINION Exploring predictors through noninvasive or minimally invasive methods for specimen collection is recommended for future work. Models combining multiple factors must be established, as no single factor is effective for the whole population.

Abstract
PURPOSE Cluster analyses on inflammatory markers of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) in Asians from multicenter data are lacking. This multicenter study aimed to identify the endotypes of CRS in Koreans and to evaluate the relationship between the endotypes and clinical parameters. METHODS Nasal tissues were obtained from patients with CRS and controls who underwent surgery. The endotypes of CRS were investigated by measuring interleukin (IL)-5, interferon (IFN)-γ, IL-17A, IL-22, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, matrix metalloproteinase-9, eotaxin-3, eosinophil cationic protein, myeloperoxidase (MPO), human neutrophil elastase (HNE), periostin, transforming growth factor-β1, total immunoglobulin E (IgE), and staphylococcal enterotoxin (SE)-specific IgE. We performed hierarchical cluster analysis and evaluated the phenotype, comorbidities, and Lund-Mackay computed tomography (LM CT) score in each cluster. RESULTS Five clusters and 3 endotypes were extracted from 244 CRS patients: cluster 1 had no upregulated mediators compared to the other clusters (mild mixed inflammatory CRS); clusters 2, 3, and 4 had higher concentrations of neutrophil-associated mediators including HNE, IL-8, IL-17A, and MPO (T3 CRS); and cluster 5 had higher levels of eosinophil-associated mediators (T2 CRS). SE-specific IgE was undetectable in T3 CRS and had low detectable levels (6.2%) even in T2 CRS. The CRS with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) phenotype and LM CT scores showed no significant differences between T2 and T3 CRS, while the incidence of comorbid asthma was higher in T2 CRS than T3 CRS. In T3 clusters, higher levels of neutrophilic markers were associated with disease severity and CRSwNP phenotype. CONCLUSIONS In Koreans, there is a distinct T3 CRS endotype showing a high proportion of CRSwNP and severe disease extent, along with T2 CRS.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a heterogeneous disease with a variety of cellular and molecular pathophysiologic mechanisms. Biomarkers have been explored in CRS using various phenotypes, such as polyp recurrence after surgery. Recently, the presence of regiotype in CRS with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) and the introduction of biologics for the treatment of CRSwNP has indicated the importance of endotypes, and there is a need to elucidate endotype-based biomarkers. AREAS COVERED Biomarkers for eosinophilic CRS, nasal polyps, disease severity, and polyp recurrence have been identified. Additionally, endotypes are being identified for CRSwNP and CRS without nasal polyps using cluster analysis, an unsupervised learning technique. EXPERT OPINION Endotypes in CRS have still being established, and biomarkers capable of identifying endotypes of CRS are not yet clear. When identifying endotype-based biomarkers, it is necessary to first identify endotypes clarified by cluster analysis for outcomes. With the application of machine learning, the idea of predicting outcomes using a combination of multiple integrated biomarkers, rather than a single biomarker, will become mainstream.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The emergency of biologics and surgical techniques targeting the specific inflammatory endotype in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) asks for efficient identification of patients with different endotypes. Although mucosal IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, and IgE have been used to define type 2 (T2) inflammation, the optimal one remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to determine the optimal anchor for T2 inflammation and identify clinical characteristics and nasal secretion biomarkers predicting different endotypes in CRSwNP. METHODS Six mediators in sinonasal tissue and 36 mediators in nasal secretion samples were detected by the Bio-Plex suspension array system. Mucosal IFN-γ and IL-17A levels were used to define the T1 and T3 endotype, respectively. The efficacy of mucosal IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, and IgE to define the T2 endotype was compared. The power of clinical characteristics and nasal secretion biomarkers to predict the T1, T2, and T3 endotype was analyzed. RESULTS Among mucosal IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, and IgE, IL-13 was the best one to coincide with the expression of other T2 biomarkers. A combination of atopy, facial pain symptom score, ethmoid/maxillary computed tomography score ratio, and blood eosinophil percentage had a moderate predictive performance for T2 endotype (area under the receiver operating curve [AUC] = 0.815), comparable to that of nasal secretion IL-5 (AUC = 0.819). For the T3 endotype, nasal secretion IL-1Rα identified it with an AUC value of 0.756. No efficient marker for the T1 endotype was found. CONCLUSION IL-13 is a primary anchor for the T2 endotype in CRSwNP. Clinical characteristics and nasal secretion biomarkers are helpful for identifying the T2 and T3 endotype of CRSwNP.

Abstract
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is characterized by poor prognosis and propensity for recurrence even after surgery. Identification of those CRS patients with high risk of relapse preoperatively will contribute to personalized treatment recommendations. In this paper, we proposed a multi-task deep learning network for sinus segmentation and CRS recurrence prediction simultaneously to develop and validate a deep learning radiomics-based nomogram for preoperatively predicting recurrence in CRS patients who needed surgical treatment. 265 paranasal sinuses computed tomography (CT) images of CRS from two independent medical centers were analyzed to build and test models. The sinus segmentation model achieved good segmentation results. Furthermore, the nomogram combining a deep learning signature and clinical factors also showed excellent recurrence prediction ability for CRS. Our study not only facilitates a technique for sinus segmentation but also provides a noninvasive method for preoperatively predicting recurrence in patients with CRS.

Treatment Strategy of Uncontrolled Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyps: A Review of Recent Evidence. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24055015. [PMID: 36902445 PMCID: PMC10002552 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24055015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2022] [Revised: 02/26/2023] [Accepted: 03/03/2023] [Indexed: 03/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is recognized as a heterogeneous disease with a wide range of clinical features, resulting in significant morbidity and cost to the healthcare system. While the phenotypic classification is determined by the presence or absence of nasal polyps and comorbidities, the endotype classification has been established based on molecular biomarkers or specific mechanisms. Research on CRS has now developed based on information based on three major endotypes: types 1, 2, and 3. Recently, biological therapies targeting type 2 inflammation have been clinically expanded and may be applied to other inflammatory endotypes in the future. The purpose of this review is to discuss the treatment options according to the type of CRS and summarize recent studies on new therapeutic approaches for patients with uncontrolled CRS with nasal polyps.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To review the current literature on immunological mechanisms and treatable traits of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) in Asia. DESIGN This is a narrative review of published data on the immunological mechanisms and treatable traits of CRS in Asia. Published English literature on CRS in Asian and Western countries was reviewed. Where available, the data extracted included epidemiology, immunology, bacterium, phenotype, endotype and treatment. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION CRS is a heterogeneous disease characterised by persistent locoregional mucosal inflammation of the paranasal sinuses. The inflammatory signatures of CRS vary across patients with distinct racial and ethnic backgrounds and geographic areas. Compared to CRS patients in Western countries, Asian CRS patients display less eosinophilic and Type 2 inflammation, which is associated with lower asthma and allergic rhinitis comorbidities. In contrast, Asian patients with CRS have more prominent non-eosinophilic inflammation than those in Western countries. In addition, Asian CRS patients may have different bacterial colonisation than patients in Western countries. Our review suggests that the distinct immunological mechanisms between Asian and Western CRS patients may influence the clinical phenotype, responses to treatment and outcomes. The treatable trait is a new strategy and therapeutic target identified by phenotype or endotype and has been proposed as a new paradigm for the management of diseases. Improved understanding of CRS phenotypic and endotypic heterogeneity and incorporation of treatable traits into clinical care pathways may facilitate more effective selections of therapeutic interventions, including surgery and biologics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammatory patterns in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) may predict disease severity, need for multiple sinus surgeries, and treatment response. This study analyzes nasal mucus inflammatory cytokine patterns in patients with (CRSwNP) and without (CRSsNP) nasal polyposis and their association with revision sinus surgery. METHODS A total of 319 CRS patients who underwent sinus surgery were included. Cytokines were quantified in intraoperative mucus specimens using a multiplex flow cytometric bead assay. Cytokine expression patterns in patients with 0, 1, and ≥2 previous surgeries were analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis and principal component (PC) regression analyses. RESULTS There were 122 (38%) patients with CRSsNP and 197 (62%) with CRSwNP. On univariate analysis, interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, IL-8, and IL-21 were associated with increasing number of sinus surgeries in CRSsNP, as were IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-9, IL-17A, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α in CRSwNP. PC analysis with continuous Poisson regression in CRSwNP demonstrated that high IL-5 and IL-13 and low IL-1β, IL-12, and IL-21 were associated with more prior surgeries. In CRSsNP low IL-13 and high IL-5 and regulated-on-activation, normal T-cell-expressed and secreted (RANTES) were associated with more prior surgeries. Age remained a significant covariate in the full regression model for CRSsNP, but was nonsignificant in CRSwNP. CONCLUSION In CRSwNP, elevated IL-5 and IL-13 levels were higher at time of surgery in patients with more prior surgeries. Type 2 cytokines in CRSsNP demonstrated mixed associations with revision surgery. For both phenotypes, IL-10, IL-12, and IL-21 were consistently lower as number of prior surgeries increased, suggesting that treatment-resistant disease may be modulated by impairment in these signaling pathways.

MicroRNA-21-5p promotes mucosal type 2 inflammation via regulating GLP1R/IL-33 signaling in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps. J Allergy Clin Immunol 2022; 150:1460-1475. [PMID: 35835254 DOI: 10.1016/j.jaci.2022.05.030] [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: 10/25/2021] [Revised: 04/29/2022] [Accepted: 05/18/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND It has been known that chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a type 2 inflammation-dominated disease; however, the reasons causing such type of mucosal inflammation in CRSwNP are not well elucidated. OBJECTIVE We sought to investigate the role of microRNA-21-5p (miR-21-5p) in regulating mucosal type 2 inflammation in CRSwNP. METHODS miR-21-5p expression was detected in nasal mucosa of patients with CRSwNP. Correlations between miR-21-5p and indicators of type 2 inflammation were further analyzed. miR-21 knockout mice were used to explore the role of miR-21-5p in a murine model of eosinophilic (E) CRSwNP. Target gene of miR-21-5p related to type 2 inflammation in CRSwNP was identified. RESULTS The upregulated miR-21-5p in the nasal mucosa of patients with CRSwNP, compared with control subjects, was expressed higher in patients with ECRSwNP than in patients with nonECRSwNP. miR-21-5p expression was positively correlated with mucosal eosinophil infiltrations and the expression of type 2 inflammatory cytokines. In the CRSwNP mice, miR-21 knockout significantly attenuated type 2 inflammation, as indicated by eosinophil infiltrations and expression of cytokines/chemokines in nasal mucosa and lavage fluid; moreover, genes associated with type 2 inflammation were extensively downregulated at the transcriptome level in miR-21 knockout mice. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor, which was negatively correlated with miR-21-5p expression in human nasal mucosa, was identified as the target of miR-21-5p. Overexpression of miR-21-5p induced IL-33 expression, whereas glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist decreased IL-33 production in airway epithelial cells. CONCLUSIONS miR-21-5p aggravates type 2 inflammation in the nasal mucosa of patients with CRSwNP via targeting glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor/IL-33 signaling, which may be a potential therapeutic target for CRSwNP.

Abstract
In the last few decades, there has been a progressive increase in the prevalence of allergic rhinitis (AR) in China, where it now affects approximately 250 million people. AR prevention and treatment include allergen avoidance, pharmacotherapy, allergen immunotherapy (AIT), and patient education, among which AIT is the only curative intervention. AIT targets the disease etiology and may potentially modify the immune system as well as induce allergen-specific immune tolerance in patients with AR. In 2017, a team of experts from the Chinese Society of Allergy (CSA) and the Chinese Allergic Rhinitis Collaborative Research Group (C2AR2G) produced the first English version of Chinese AIT guidelines for AR. Since then, there has been considerable progress in basic research of and clinical practice for AIT, especially regarding the role of follicular regulatory T (TFR) cells in the pathogenesis of AR and the use of allergen-specific immunoglobulin E (sIgE) in nasal secretions for the diagnosis of AR. Additionally, potential biomarkers, including TFR cells, sIgG4, and sIgE, have been used to monitor the incidence and progression of AR. Moreover, there has been a novel understanding of AIT during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. Hence, there was an urgent need to update the AIT guideline for AR by a team of experts from CSA and C2AR2G. This document aims to serve as professional reference material on AIT for AR treatment in China, thus improving the development of AIT across the world.

Prognostic factors for polyp recurrence in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps. J Allergy Clin Immunol 2022; 150:352-361.e7. [PMID: 35305978 PMCID: PMC9378510 DOI: 10.1016/j.jaci.2022.02.029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 44] [Impact Index Per Article: 22.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2021] [Revised: 01/21/2022] [Accepted: 02/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps is frequently managed with endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS). Prior studies describe individual clinical variables and eosinophil density measures as prognostic for polyp recurrence (PR). However, the relative prognostic significance of these have not been extensively investigated. OBJECTIVES We sought to evaluate the impact of PR on measures of disease severity post-ESS and quantify the prognostic value of various clinical variables and biomarkers. METHODS Ninety-four patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps and prospectively biobanked polyp homogenates at the time of ESS were recruited 2 to 5 years post-ESS. Patients were evaluated with patient-reported outcome measures and endoscopic and radiographic scoring pre- and post-ESS. Biomarkers in polyp homogenates were measured with ELISA and Luminex. Relaxed least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression optimized predictive clinical, biomarker, and combined models. Model performance was assessed using receiver-operating characteristic curve and random forest analysis. RESULTS PR was found in 39.4% of patients, despite significant improvements in modified Lund-Mackay (MLM) radiographic and 22-item Sinonasal Outcomes Test scores (both P < .0001). PR was significantly associated with worse post-ESS MLM, modified Lund-Kennedy, and 22-item Sinonasal Outcomes Test scores. Relaxed least absolute shrinkage and selection operator identified 2 clinical predictors (area under the curve = 0.79) and 3 biomarkers (area under the curve = 0.78) that were prognostic for PR. When combined, the model incorporating these pre-ESS factors: MLM, asthma, eosinophil cationic protein, anti-double-stranded DNA IgG, and IL-5 improved PR predictive accuracy to area under the curve of 0.89. Random forest analysis identified and validated each of the 5 variables as the strongest predictors of PR. CONCLUSIONS PR had strong associations with patient-reported outcome measures, endoscopic and radiographic severity. A combined model comprised of eosinophil cationic protein, IL-5, pre-ESS MLM, asthma, and anti-double-stranded DNA IgG could accurately predict PR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND With the advent of biotherapies, endotyping of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is becoming more and more important to optimize therapeutic management. While the majority of CRSwNPs in the United States, Europe, and Japan exhibit type 2 eosinophil-dominant inflammation response, other parts of Asia display mixed patterns including neutrophil-dominant inflammation. Until now, no study has focused on the proportion of inflammation patterns in Morocco or anywhere on the African continent. We aim to fill this gap by studying tissue inflammatory response in our operated patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS After searching the database of the pathology department, we retrieved from the archives the stained pathology slides of all our patients who underwent surgery for CRSwNP over 5 years from 2017 to 2021. We counted then the number of eosinophils in the lamina propria at high-power magnification to determine the predominant inflammatory pattern. RESULTS A total of 35 reports were collected. We found that eosinophilic inflammation was predominant, accounting for 97% of the cases. CONCLUSIONS The CRSwNP endotype in our region would mainly be type 2. However, our results must be confirmed by multicenter studies involving a large number of patients.

Abstract
Knowledge of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) epidemiology may directly impact patient care: aiding patient identification and establishing accurate diagnosis as well as informing treatment decisions. The objective of this review is to summarize the current evidence on the epidemiology of CRS, with a focus on prevalence and risk factors. Although the presence of either symptoms or objective findings alone have yielded CRS prevalence estimates of over 10%, the presence of both-consistent with guideline-based diagnostic criteria for CRS-has suggested that the true prevalence of CRS is consistently less than 5%, with approximately one-third of patients with CRS having nasal polyps, in epidemiologic studies from around the world. In comparison, the prevalence of CRS endotypes-pathophysiologic subclassification of CRS most commonly as related to type 2 or non-type 2 inflammation-has been found to vary significantly by region. The epidemiology of CRS is modified and ultimately determined by risk factors: genetic/hereditary, demographic, environmental, and imparted by predictive pre-/comorbid disease. The understanding of these epidemiologic relationships may help the provider to optimally identify and understand each individual's CRS disease process, thereby improving both diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a common clinical syndrome that produces significant morbidity and costs to our health system. The study of CRS has progressed from an era focused on phenotype to include endotype-based information. Phenotypic classification has identified clinical heterogeneity in CRS based on endoscopically observed features such as presence of nasal polyps, presence of comorbid or systemic diseases, and timing of disease onset. More recently, laboratory-based findings have established CRS endotype based upon specific mechanisms or molecular biomarkers. Understanding the basis of widespread heterogeneity in the manifestations of CRS is advanced by findings that the three main endotypes, Type 1, 2, and 3, orchestrate the expression of three distinct large sets of genes. The development and use of improved methods of endotyping disease in the clinic are ushering in an expansion of the use of biological therapies targeting Type 2 inflammation now and perhaps other inflammatory endotypes in the near future. The purpose of this review is to discuss the phenotypic and endotypic heterogeneity of CRS from the perspective of advancing the understanding of the pathogenesis and improvement of treatment approaches and outcomes.

Abstract
Background High tissue and blood eosinophils are linked to poor treatment outcome in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). However, the difference between the patients with different level of blood or tissue eosinophilia in relation to disease control is still lacking. Objectives This study aimed to characterize patients with CRSwNP with intensely high eosinophil level. Methods A retrospective study of CRSwNP patients underwent endoscopic sinus surgery was conducted. The patients were subdivided with various cut‐off values of blood and tissue eosinophils. Tissue eosinophils of ≥50% and 10%–20% were defined as intensely high tissue eosinophils (IH‐tissue‐eos) and high tissue eosinophils (H‐tissue‐eos), respectively. Blood eosinophils of ≥0.6 × 109/L and 0.2 × 109/L–0.3 × 109/L were defined as intensely high blood eosinophils (IH‐blood‐eos) and high blood eosinophils (H‐blood‐eos). Clinical characteristics, Lund‐Mackay score (LMS), and disease control status were compared between subgroups. Results A total of 302 patients were enrolled. There was a trend toward a higher rate of uncontrolled disease when the patients subdivided by blood eosinophil cut‐off values ranged from 0.1 × 109/L to 0.6 × 109/L. The controlled patients accounted for 27%, 36%, 22%, and 31%, and the uncontrolled patients 46%, 32%, 52%, and 31% of patients in IH‐tissue‐eos, H‐tissue‐eos, IH‐blood‐eos, and H‐blood‐eos subgroup, respectively. The percentages of patients in the three categories of control were not significantly different between IH‐tissue‐eos and H‐tissue‐eos subgroups. By contrast, the IH‐blood‐eos subgroup had higher percentages of current smoker and asthma, preoperative LMS and tissue eosinophil percentage, and showed a trend toward a higher rate of uncontrolled subjects compare with the H‐blood‐eos subgroup. Conclusion CRSwNP patients with IH‐blood‐eos (≥0.6 × 109/L) may be possibly associated with a poorer disease control than those with levels near the threshold of blood eosinophilia (0.2 × 109/L–0.3 × 109/L). Further larger, preferably prospective studies are needed to confirm this relationship. Level of Evidence: 4.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a heterogeneous disorder with diverse responses to conventional anti-inflammatory medical and surgical treatments. Even for the newly developed mAbs targeting type 2 (T2) reaction, a considerable number of patients with CRS with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) exhibited unsatisfying response. Identifying patients with a tendency to poor prognosis is critical for selecting targeted therapies to improve the treatment outcome. This review focuses on clinical and biological markers associated with prognosis of CRS patients under conventional medical and surgical treatments and provides an update summary of potential markers for T2 biologics. RECENT FINDINGS Allergic rhinitis, asthma, prior sinus surgery, nasal polyps, tissue eosinophilia and neutrophilia, blood eosinophilia and high levels of Charcot-Leyden crystal, cystatin SN, chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 17, macrophage inflammatory protein-1β and interleukin (IL)-5 in nasal secretions have been associated with poor prognosis in CRS patients under conventional medical and surgical treatments. Blood eosinophil level might be a biomarker for anti-IL-5 (mepolizumab) and anti-IL-5R (benralizumab) biologic in patients with refractory CRSwNP. SUMMARY Several clinical and biological markers have been associated with poor response to conventional treatments in CRS patients; however, majority of them should be verified by large-scale multicentre studies. More efforts are needed to identify biomarkers for biologics.

Abstract
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a highly heterogeneous disorder exhibiting considerable epidemiological, clinical and immunopathological variations across patients with distinct ethnic backgrounds and in different geographic locations. Asian CRS patients present less eosinophilic and type 2 (T2) inflammation, but more prominent neutrophilic inflammation compared with patients in Western countries. Although several biologics targeting important elements of T2 inflammation, such as IL-4, IL-5, IL-13 and IgE, demonstrate promising benefit for Caucasian patients with recurrent nasal polyps, their efficacy in Asian patients remains poorly defined. The distinct endotypes in Asian patients warrant the identification and selection of patients who would benefit from T2 biologics in Asian countries. Additionally, developing novel treatments targeting neutrophilic, type 1, and type 3 inflammation may benefit approximately 50% of Asian CRS patients with non-T2 inflammation. In this review, we summarized and discussed recent progress in the study of Asian CRS endotypes in comparison with those in patients in Western countries, and the methods of identifying Asian patients with eosinophilic or T2 inflammation. T2 biologic treatment of Asian CRS patients, potential therapeutic candidates targeting non-T2 inflammation in Asian CRS patients and the progress on developing other T2 biologics were discussed.
