Safety and Pharmacokinetics of a Ciprofloxacin and Azithromycin Stent for Chronic Rhinosinusitis. Laryngoscope 2024; 134:3953-3959. [PMID: 38563347 PMCID: PMC11305968 DOI: 10.1002/lary.31431] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2024] [Revised: 03/08/2024] [Accepted: 03/20/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Previously, we developed a novel double-coated sinus stent containing ciprofloxacin (inner layer) and azithromycin (outer layer) (CASS), but released drug concentrations were found to be insufficient for clinical usage. Our objectives are to improve drug release of CASS and assess safety and pharmacokinetics in rabbits. METHODS Dip coating was used to create the CASS with 2 mg ciprofloxacin and 5 mg azithromycin. A uniformed double coating was assessed with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the release patterns of both drugs and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) assay were evaluated over 14 days in vitro. Safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of the CASS were tested in rabbits through insertion into the maxillary sinus and evaluated with nasal endoscopy, CT scans, histology, blood counts and chemistries, and in vivo drug release. RESULTS SEM confirmed the uniformity of the dual coating of ciprofloxacin and azithromycin, and thickness (μm) was found to be 14.7 ± 2.4 and 28.1 ± 4.6, respectively. The inner coated ciprofloxacin showed a sustained release over 14 days (release %) when soaked in saline solution (day 7, 86.2 ± 3.4 vs. day 14,99.2 ± 5.1). In vivo analysis showed that after 12 days, 78.92 ± 7.67% of CP and 84.12 ± 0.45% of AZ were released into the sinus. There were no significant differences in body weight, white blood cell counts, and radiographic changes before and after CASS placement. No significant histological changes were observed compared to the contralateral control side. CONCLUSION Findings suggest that the CASS is an effective method for delivering therapeutic levels of antibiotics. Further studies are needed to validate efficacy in a preclinical sinusitis model.

Hypoxia-induced cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator dysfunction is a universal mechanism underlying reduced mucociliary transport in sinusitis. Int Forum Allergy Rhinol 2024; 14:1058-1069. [PMID: 38073611 DOI: 10.1002/alr.23309] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/07/2022] [Revised: 10/30/2023] [Accepted: 11/29/2023] [Indexed: 06/04/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hypoxia due to sinus obstruction is a major pathogenic mechanism leading to sinusitis. The objective of the current study is to define the electrophysiologic characteristics of hypoxia in vitro and in vivo. METHODS Cystic fibrosis bronchoepithelial cells expressing wild-type cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) and human sinonasal epithelial cells were exposed to 1% or atmospheric O2 for 24 h. Time-dependent production of cytoplasmic free radicals was measured. Cells were subjected to Ussing chamber and patch clamp technique where CFTR currents were recorded in whole-cell and cell-attached mode for single channel studies. Indices of mucociliary transport (MCT) were measured using micro-optical coherence tomography. In a rabbit hypoxic maxillary sinus model, tissue oxygenation, relative mRNA expression of HIF-1α, pH, sinus potential difference (SPD), and MCT were determined. RESULTS Ussing chamber (p < 0.05), whole-cell (p < 0.001), and single channel patch-clamp (p < 0.0001) showed significant inhibition of Cl- currents in hypoxic cells. Cytoplasmic free radicals showed time-dependent elevation peaking at 4 h (p < 0.0001). Airway surface liquid (p < 0.0001), periciliary liquid (p < 0.001), and MCT (p < 0.01) were diminished. Co-incubation with the free radical scavenger glutathione negated the impact of hypoxia on single channel currents and MCT markers. In sinusitis rabbits, mucosa exhibited low tissue oxygenation (p < 0.0001), increased HIF1α mRNA (p < 0.05), reduced pH (p < 0.01), and decreased MCT (p < 0.001). SPD measurements demonstrated markedly diminished transepithelial Cl- transport (p < 0.0001). CONCLUSION Hypoxia induces severe CFTR dysfunction via free radical production causing reduced MCT in vitro and in vivo. Improved oxygenation is critical to reducing the impact of persistent mucociliary dysfunction.

Red ginseng aqueous extract improves mucociliary transport dysfunction and histopathology in CF rat airways. J Cyst Fibros 2023; 22:1113-1119. [PMID: 37704464 PMCID: PMC10843063 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcf.2023.09.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/20/2022] [Revised: 09/04/2023] [Accepted: 09/04/2023] [Indexed: 09/15/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND We previously discovered that Korean red ginseng aqueous extract (RGAE) potentiates the TMEM16A channel, improved mucociliary transport (MCT) parameters in CF nasal epithelia in vitro, and thus could serve as a therapeutic strategy to rescue the MCT defect in cystic fibrosis (CF) airways. The hypothesis of this study is that RGAE can improve epithelial Cl- secretion, MCT, and histopathology in an in-vivo CF rat model. METHODS Seventeen 4-month old CFTR-/- rats were randomly assigned to receive daily oral control (saline, n = 9) or RGAE (Ginsenosides 0.4mg/kg/daily, n = 8) for 4 weeks. Outcomes included nasal Cl- secretion measured with the nasal potential difference (NPD), functional microanatomy of the trachea using micro-optical coherence tomography, histopathology, and immunohistochemical staining for TMEM16a. RESULTS RGAE-treated CF rats had greater mean NPD polarization with UTP (control = -5.48 +/- 2.87 mV, RGAE = -9.49 +/- 2.99 mV, p < 0.05), indicating, at least in part, potentiation of UTP-mediated Cl- secretion through TMEM16A. All measured tracheal MCT parameters (airway surface liquid, periciliary liquid, ciliary beat frequency, MCT) were significantly increased in RGAE-treated CF rats with MCT exhibiting a 3-fold increase (control, 0.45+/-0.31 vs. RGAE, 1.45+/-0.66 mm/min, p < 0.01). Maxillary mucosa histopathology was markedly improved in RGAE-treated cohort (reduced intracellular mucus, goblet cells with no distention, and shorter epithelial height). TMEM16A expression was similar between groups. CONCLUSION RGAE improves TMEM16A-mediated transepithelial Cl- secretion, functional microanatomy, and histopathology in CF rats. Therapeutic strategies utilizing TMEM16A potentiators to treat CF airway disease are appropriate and provide a new avenue for mutation-independent therapies.

Comparative study of optical coherence tomograph and histological images of eustachian tube nasopharyngeal region and adjacent structures in vivo and ex-vivo miniature pigs. Biomed Eng Online 2023; 22:46. [PMID: 37179353 PMCID: PMC10183122 DOI: 10.1186/s12938-023-01104-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2022] [Accepted: 04/25/2023] [Indexed: 05/15/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Optical Coherence Tomograph (OCT) imaging technology can be used to examine, in vivo, the human ET. At present, it is impossible to achieve the OCT scanning vivo and ex vivo in the same individual human body, or study the consistency between OCT images and histological images of the eustachian tube nasopharyngeal region and adjacent structures. The aim of this study was to determine the consistency between OCT images and histological sections in vivo and ex vivo in miniature pigs. METHODS OCT imaging was performed on five adult miniature pigs in vivo and ex vivo. The images of the eustachian tube OCT (ET-OCT), nasopharynx OCT (NP-OCT) and histological cross sections were further studied. RESULTS All five miniature pigs achieved the OCT scan successfully, acquiring ET-OCT and NP-OCT images in vivo and ex vivo on both sides. The acquired ET OCT images closely matched the histological images, revealing details of the cartilage, submucosa, glands, and mucosa. The lower segment of the ET wall mucosa had an abundance of glands and submucosal tissues, with more low-signal areas appearing in the ex vivo images. The NP-OCT images of the nasopharynx matched the details of the mucosa and submucosal tissues. The ex-vivo OCT images showed thicker mucosa and more scattered slightly lower signal areas compared to the vivo OCT images. CONCLUSIONS ET-OCT images and NP-OCT images matched the histological structure of eustachian tube nasopharyngeal region structures in miniature pigs both in vivo and ex vivo. OCT images may be sensitive to changes in edema and ischemia status. There is a great potential for morphological assessment of inflammation, edema, injure, mucus gland status.

Abstract
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the nasal cavity characterized by excessive nasal mucus secretion and nasal congestion. The development of CRS is related to pathological mechanisms induced by hypoxia. Under hypoxic conditions, the stable expression of both Hypoxia inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) α and HIF-2α are involved in the immune response and inflammatory pathways of CRS. The imbalance in the composition of nasal microbiota may affect the hypoxic state of CRS and perpetuate existing inflammation. Hypoxia affects the differentiation of nasal epithelial cells such as ciliated cells and goblet cells, induces fibroblast proliferation, and leads to epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and tissue remodeling. Hypoxia also affects the proliferation and differentiation of macrophages, eosinophils, basophils, and mast cells in sinonasal mucosa, and thus influences the inflammatory state of CRS by regulating T cells and B cells. Given the multifactorial nature in which HIF is linked to CRS, this study aims to elucidate the effect of hypoxia on the pathogenic mechanisms of CRS.

Abstract
The mucus clearance system is the dominant mechanical host defense system of the human lung. Mucus is cleared from the lung by cilia and airflow, including both two-phase gas-liquid pumping and cough-dependent mechanisms, and mucus transport rates are heavily dependent on mucus concentration. Importantly, mucus transport rates are accurately predicted by the gel-on-brush model of the mucociliary apparatus from the relative osmotic moduli of the mucus and periciliary-glycocalyceal (PCL-G) layers. The fluid available to hydrate mucus is generated by transepithelial fluid transport. Feedback interactions between mucus concentrations and cilia beating, via purinergic signaling, coordinate Na+ absorptive vs Cl- secretory rates to maintain mucus hydration in health. In disease, mucus becomes hyperconcentrated (dehydrated). Multiple mechanisms derange the ion transport pathways that normally hydrate mucus in muco-obstructive lung diseases, e.g., cystic fibrosis (CF), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), non-CF bronchiectasis (NCFB), and primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD). A key step in muco-obstructive disease pathogenesis is the osmotic compression of the mucus layer onto the airway surface with the formation of adherent mucus plaques and plugs, particularly in distal airways. Mucus plaques create locally hypoxic conditions and produce airflow obstruction, inflammation, infection, and, ultimately, airway wall damage. Therapies to clear adherent mucus with hydrating and mucolytic agents are rational, and strategies to develop these agents are reviewed.

Abstract
The balance of gas exchange and lung ventilation is essential for the maintenance of body homeostasis. There are many ion channels and transporters in respiratory epithelial cells, including epithelial sodium channel, Na,K-ATPase, cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator, and some transporters. These ion channels/transporters maintain the capacity of liquid layer on the surface of respiratory epithelial cells, and provide an immune barrier for the respiratory system to clear off foreign pathogens. However, in some harmful external environment and/or pathological conditions, the respiratory epithelium is prone to hypoxia, which would destroy the ion transport function of the epithelium and unbalance the homeostasis of internal environment, triggering a series of pathological reactions. Many respiratory diseases associated with hypoxia manifest an increased expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1, which mediates the integrity of the epithelial barrier and affects epithelial ion transport function. It is important to study the relationship between hypoxia and ion transport function, whereas the mechanism of hypoxia-induced ion transport dysfunction in respiratory diseases is not clear. This review focuses on the relationship of hypoxia and respiratory diseases, as well as dysfunction of ion transport and tight junctions in respiratory epithelial cells under hypoxia.

Ivacaftor restores delayed mucociliary transport caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa-induced acquired cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator dysfunction in rabbit nasal epithelia. Int Forum Allergy Rhinol 2022; 12:690-698. [PMID: 34704673 PMCID: PMC9038953 DOI: 10.1002/alr.22907] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2021] [Revised: 09/11/2021] [Accepted: 09/13/2021] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Abnormal chloride (Cl- ) transport dehydrates airway surface liquid (ASL) in sinonasal epithelium leading to mucus stasis and chronic rhinosinusitis. As an experimental epithelium, rabbit tissue provides an excellent representation of human sinus disease, and the rabbit sinusitis model is both established and well suited for therapeutic interventions in vivo. Our objective in this study was to evaluate whether ivacaftor reverses the consequences of Pseudomonas aeruginosa-induced acquired cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) dysfunction. METHODS Rabbit nasal cavities were assessed for responsiveness to ivacaftor in vivo (by nasal potential difference [NPD] assay). Rabbit nasal epithelial (RNE) cultures were incubated with an ultrafiltrate of P aeruginosa (PAO1 strain) for 4 hours and tested for acquired CFTR dysfunction. Markers of mucociliary function, including airway surface liquid depth (ASL), periciliary liquid depth (PCL), ciliary beat frequency (CBF), and mucociliary transport (MCT), were measured by micro-optical coherence tomography (μOCT) after PAO1 and/or ivacaftor incubation. RESULTS Ivacaftor resulted in a significant mean NPD polarization of 21.8 ± 2.1 mV, which was significantly greater than that seen in the low Cl- control (12.9 ± 1.3; p = 0.01). PAO1 exposure induced a state of acquired CFTR dysfunction in rabbit nasal epithelium as measured by forskolin-stimulated short-circuit current (ISC ) (control, 37.0 ± 1.1 μA/cm2 ; PAO1, 24.4 ± 1.1 μA/cm2 ; p < 0.001). RNE cultures exposed to PAO1 had inhibited mucociliary function, whereas coincubation with ivacaftor restored mucociliary clearance, as measured by μOCT. CONCLUSION In rabbit nasal epithelium, ivacaftor robustly stimulates CFTR-mediated Cl- secretion and normalizes ASL and CBF in PAO1-induced acquired CFTR dysfunction. Preclinical testing of CFTR potentiators as therapy for P aeruginosa rabbit sinusitis is planned.

An Adverse Outcome Pathway for Decreased Lung Function Focusing on Mechanisms of Impaired Mucociliary Clearance Following Inhalation Exposure. FRONTIERS IN TOXICOLOGY 2022; 3:750254. [PMID: 35295103 PMCID: PMC8915806 DOI: 10.3389/ftox.2021.750254] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/30/2021] [Accepted: 11/11/2021] [Indexed: 01/23/2023] Open
Abstract
Adverse outcome pathways (AOPs) help to organize available mechanistic information related to an adverse outcome into key events (KEs) spanning all organizational levels of a biological system(s). AOPs, therefore, aid in the biological understanding of a particular pathogenesis and also help with linking exposures to eventual toxic effects. In the regulatory context, knowledge of disease mechanisms can help design testing strategies using in vitro methods that can measure or predict KEs relevant to the biological effect of interest. The AOP described here evaluates the major processes known to be involved in regulating efficient mucociliary clearance (MCC) following exposures causing oxidative stress. MCC is a key aspect of the innate immune defense against airborne pathogens and inhaled chemicals and is governed by the concerted action of its functional components, the cilia and airway surface liquid (ASL). The AOP network described here consists of sequences of KEs that culminate in the modulation of ciliary beat frequency and ASL height as well as mucus viscosity and hence, impairment of MCC, which in turn leads to decreased lung function.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypoxia due to closure at the ostiomeatal complex is widely considered one of the major pathogenic mechanisms leading to chronic inflammation in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). The objective of this study was to develop and characterize an oxygen-generating biomaterial (OGB) as an innovative treatment strategy for CRS. METHODS An OGB was fabricated by coating hydrophobic beeswax (BW, 15mg or 30mg) on the surface of calcium peroxide - catalase complex (CPO-CA, 30mg) and characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In vitro releases of both oxygen and hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) were spectrophotometrically quantified, and cytotoxicity in human sinonasal epithelial cells (HSNECs) was evaluated. The influence of OGB on transepithelial Cl- secretion was also determined by pharmacologically manipulating HSNECs, cultured under hypoxic conditions, in Ussing chambers. RESULTS Three groups of OGBs: (1) CPO only; (2) CPO coated with CA and BW (1:1 ratio, CPO-CA(1)-BW(1)); and (3) CPO coated with CA and BW (1:0.5 ratio, CPO-CA(1)-BW(0.5) were analyzed for accumulated oxygen release over 7 days: highest release (mmol/mg) was observed in CPO-CA(1)-BW(1) = 0.11 ± 0.003, followed by CPO-CA(1)-BW(0.5) = 0.08 ± 0.010, and CPO = 0.05 ± 0.004 (p < 0.0001). H2 O2 production (mM) was significantly higher in CPO (1.87 ± 0.50) compared to CPO-CA (1)-BW(1) (0.00 ± 0.00) (p < 0.001) after 24 h. CPO-CA(1)-BW(1) showed significantly reduced cytotoxicity and increased Cl- transport compared to the CPO group. CONCLUSION A novel OGB (CPO-CA-BW complex) exhibited sustained oxygen release over 7 days without significant cytotoxicity after 24 h in vitro. Preclinical studies evaluating the efficacy of OGB in CRS are warranted, especially for potential therapy in an obstruction-based CRS model.

Abstract
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive disease caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene, responsible for the synthesis of the CFTR protein, a chloride channel. The gene has approximately 2000 known mutations and all of them affect in some degree the protein function, which makes the pathophysiological manifestations to be multisystemic, mainly affecting the respiratory, gastrointestinal, endocrine, and reproductive tracts. Currently, the treatment of the disease is restricted to controlling symptoms and, more recently, a group of drugs that act directly on the defective protein, known as CFTR modulators, was developed. However, their high cost and difficult access mean that their use is still very restricted. It is important to search for safe and low-cost alternative therapies for CF and, in this context, natural compounds and, mainly, caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) appear as promising strategies to assist in the treatment of the disease. CAPE is a compound derived from propolis extracts that has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities, covering important aspects of the pathophysiology of CF, which points to the possible benefit of its use in the disease treatment. To date, no studies have effectively tested CAPE for CF and, therefore, we intend with this review to elucidate the role of inflammation and oxidative stress for tissue damage seen in CF, associating them with CAPE actions and its pharmacologically active derivatives. In this way, we offer a theoretical basis for conducting preclinical and clinical studies relating the use of this molecule to CF.

Abstract
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) serves as the interface between gram-negative bacteria (GNB) and the innate immune response in respiratory epithelial cells (REC). Herein, we describe a novel biological role of LPS that permits GNB to persist in the respiratory tract through inducing CFTR and mucociliary dysfunction. LPS reduced cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulater (CFTR)-mediated short-circuit current in mammalian REC in Ussing chambers and nearly abrogated CFTR single channel activity (defined as forskolin-activated Cl- currents) in patch clamp studies, effects of which were blocked with toll-like receptor (TLR)-4 inhibitor. Unitary conductance and single-channel amplitude of CFTR were unaffected, but open probability and number of active channels were markedly decreased. LPS increased cytoplasmic and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species resulting in CFTR carbonylation. All effects of exposure were eliminated when reduced glutathione was added in the medium along with LPS. Functional microanatomy parameters, including mucociliary transport, in human sinonasal epithelial cells in vitro were also decreased, but restored with co-incubation with glutathione or TLR-4 inhibitor. In vivo measurements, following application of LPS in the nasal cavities showed significant decreases in transepithelial Cl- secretion as measured by nasal potential difference (NPD) – an effect that was nullified with glutathione and TLR-4 inhibitor. These data provide definitive evidence that LPS-generated reactive intermediates downregulate CFTR function in vitro and in vivo which results in cystic fibrosis-type disease. Findings have implications for therapeutic approaches intent on stimulating Cl- secretion and/or reducing oxidative stress to decrease the sequelae of GNB airway colonization and infection.

Molecular mechanism mediating enteric bacterial translocation after severe burn: the role of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator. BURNS & TRAUMA 2021; 9:tkaa042. [PMID: 33501367 PMCID: PMC7809362 DOI: 10.1093/burnst/tkaa042] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/07/2020] [Revised: 09/28/2020] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
Background Gut ischemia and hypoxia post severe burn leads to breakdown of intestinal epithelial
barrier and enteric bacterial translocation (EBT), resulting in serious complications,
such as systemic inflammatory response syndrome, sepsis and multiple organ failure.
Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is known to be downregulated
by hypoxia and modulate junctional complexes, which are crucial structures maintaining
the intestinal barrier. This study aimed to investigate whether CFTR plays a role in
both regulating the intestinal barrier and mediating EBT post severe burn, as well as
the signaling pathways involved in these processes. Methods An in vitro Caco-2 cell model subjected to hypoxic injury and an
in vivo mouse model with a 30% total body surface area full-thickness
dermal burn were established. DF 508 mice (mice with F508del CFTR gene mutation) were
used as an in vivo model to further demonstrate the role of CFTR in maintaining normal
intestinal barrier function. QRT-PCR, western blot, ELISA, TER assay and
immunofluorescence staining were used to detect the expression and localization of CFTR
and tight junction proteins, as well as the function of tight junctions. Results Our data indicated that, in Caco-2 cells, the hypoxia condition significantly reduced
CFTR expression; activated extracellular signal-regulated kinase and nuclear factor-κB
signaling; elevated secretion of inflammatory factors (tumor necrosis factor-α,
interleukin-1β and interleukin-8); downregulated zonula occludens-1, occludin and
E-cadherin expression; decreased transepithelial electrical resistance values; and led
to a cellular mislocation of ZO-1. More importantly, knockdown of CFTR caused similar
alterations. The upregulation of inflammatory factors and downregulation of tight
junction proteins (ZO-1 and occludin) induced by knockdown of CFTR could be reversed by
specific extracellular signal-regulated kinase or nuclear factor-κB inhibition. In
support of the in vitro data, exuberant secretion of pro-inflammatory
mediators and EBT was observed in the intestine of severely burnt mice in
vivo. EBT occurred in DF508 mice (mice with the F508del CFTR gene mutation),
accompanied by augmented tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-1β and interleukin-8
levels in the ileum compared to wildtype mice. In addition, vitamin D3 was shown to
protect the intestinal epithelial barrier from hypoxic injury. Conclusions Collectively, the present study illustrated that CFTR and downstream signaling were
critical in modulating the intestinal epithelial junction and EBT post severe burn.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Epithelial ion transport regulates hydration of airway mucosal surfaces, and thus promotes effective mucociliary clearance (MCC). Decreased transepithelial Cl- transport may contribute to epithelial dysfunction by abrogating MCC and increasing mucus viscosity in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). The objective of the current study is to evaluate Cl- channel transport properties from cultures of human sinonasal epithelia. METHODS Human sinonasal epithelia (HSNE) from patients undergoing sinus surgery were cultured at an air-liquid interface to confluence and full differentiation. The epithelial monolayers were mounted in Ussing Chambers to investigate pharmacological manipulation of ion transport. Epithelial Na+ channel (via Amiloride), CFTR (via forskolin), and Ca2+-activated Cl- channel (CaCC, via UTP) transport were investigated among three different patient groups: Control, CRS and CRS with polyposis. CFTR mRNA levels were evaluated with quantitative RT-PCR. RESULTS HSNE cultures from 18 patients (Control = 9, CRS = 6, CRS with polyposis = 3) were evaluated in 142 experiments. Summary data from the 18 patients demonstrated that stimulated CFTR-mediated anion transport (Δ ISC) was significantly lower with CRS (7.58+/-2.24 µA/cm2) compared to control (25.86+/-3.44 µA/cm2) and CRS with polyposis (20.16+/-4.0 µA/cm2) (p = 0.004). No statistically significant difference was found for CaCC anion transport between groups (p = 0.39). Significantly decreased mRNA (relative expression) was noted in CRS cultures (CRS = 40.83+/-1.76 vs. control = 116.2+/-24.27, p = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS A substantial decrease in the Cl- secretory capacity of HSNE monolayers was demonstrated in CRS subjects. Data suggest that CFTR may contribute more to abnormal ion transport in CRS than CaCC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a multifactorial disease affecting up to 16% of the United States population and disproportionately affecting the cystic fibrosis (CF) patient population. Despite treating the underlying infection, the use of systemic antibiotics has shown little efficacy in alleviation of symptom burden. This review seeks to discuss recent research on novel antibiotic eluting stent therapy in vitro and within animal models as well as the factors that contribute to its efficacy. DATA SOURCES PubMed literature review. REVIEW METHODS A review of all published literature related to antibiotic eluting sinus stents was conducted to integrate and summarize this innovative approach to chronic sinus infections. RESULTS Placement of the ciprofloxacin sinus stent (CSS) and ciprofloxacin-ivacaftor sinus stent (CISS) exhibited improvement in endoscopic and radiographic findings in rabbit CRS models. While the CSS showed an overall trend toward improvement in microscopic findings and a reduction in biofilm mass, there remained a significant quantity of planktonic bacteria due to antibiotic depletion from an initial burst release in the first 48 hours of stent placement. The CISS and ciprofloxacin-azithromycin sinus stents (CASSs) exhibited controlled antibiotic release over the study period leading to greatly reduced planktonic bacterial load and biofilm mass. In vitro studies indicate that CASS may be just as efficacious at reducing biofilm mass. CONCLUSION Antibiotic eluting sinus stents show significant promise as a novel therapeutic strategy for CRS. The CISS may have particular promise for the CF patient population by addressing both the infectious and genetic components of disease. Animal studies demonstrate significant promise for translation into human studies. Human clinical trials are warranted to determine the efficacy of antibiotic sinus stents in human patients. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE NA.

Azithromycin and ciprofloxacin inhibit interleukin-8 secretion without disrupting human sinonasal epithelial integrity in vitro. Int Forum Allergy Rhinol 2020; 11:136-143. [PMID: 32725797 DOI: 10.1002/alr.22656] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2020] [Revised: 06/16/2020] [Accepted: 06/26/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND We recently developed a ciprofloxacin and azithromycin sinus stent (CASS) to target recalcitrant infections in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). The objective of this study was to evaluate the anti-inflammatory activity of azithromycin released from the CASS and assess the impact on the integrity and function of primary human sinonasal epithelial cells (HSNECs). METHODS Pseudomonas aeruginosa lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated HSNECs were treated with azithromycin and/or ciprofloxacin at concentrations attainable from CASS release. Interleukin-8 (IL-8) secretion was quantified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Epithelial integrity (transepithelial resistance [TEER], paracellular permeability [fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled dextran], lactate dehydrogenase [LDH] assays) and function (ciliary beat frequency [CBF]) were also evaluated. RESULTS Azithromycin significantly reduced secreted IL-8 from P. aeruginosa LPS-stimulated HSNECs at all concentrations tested (mean ± standard deviation; control = 5.77 ± 0.39 ng/mL, azithromycin [6 μg/mL] = 4.58 ± 0.40 ng/mL, azithromycin [60 µg/mL] = 4.31 ± 0.06, azithromycin [180 µg/mL] = 4.27 ± 0.26 ng/mL, p < 0.05). Co-incubation with azithromycin (6 µg/mL) and ciprofloxacin (2.4 µg/mL) in LPS-stimulated HSNECs also displayed a significant reduction in secreted IL-8 when compared to P. aeruginosa LPS alone (co-treatment = 4.61 ± 0.29 ng/mL, P. aeruginosa LPS = 7.35 ± 0.89 ng/mL, p < 0.01). The drugs did not negatively impact TEER, paracellular permeability, LDH release, or CBF, indicating retention of cell integrity and function. CONCLUSION Azithromycin decreased P. aeruginosa LPS IL-8 production in HSNECs at drug concentrations attainable with sustained release of azithromycin from the CASS. In addition to antibacterial activity, anti-inflammatory properties of the CASS should provide further benefit for patients with recalcitrant CRS.

Abstract
We have demonstrated previously that intracellular transport is impaired in cystic fibrosis (CF) epithelial cells. This impairment is related to both growth and inflammatory regulation in CF cell and animal models. Understanding how transport in CF cells is regulated and identifying means to manipulate that regulation are key to identifying new therapies that can address key CF phenotypes. It was hypothesized that resveratrol could replicate these benefits since it interfaces with multiple pathways identified to affect microtubule regulation in CF. It was found that resveratrol treatment significantly restored intracellular transport as determined by monitoring both cholesterol distribution and the distribution of rab7-positive organelles in CF cells. This restoration of intracellular transport is due to correction of both microtubule formation rates and microtubule acetylation in cultured CF cell models and primary nasal epithelial cells. Mechanistically, the effect of resveratrol on microtubule regulation and intracellular transport was dependent on peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ signaling and its ability to act as a pan-histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor. Resveratrol represents a candidate compound with known anti-inflammatory properties that can restore both microtubule formation and acetylation in CF epithelial cells.

Abstract
Since the identification of Cystic Fibrosis (CF) as a disease in 1938 until 2012, only
therapies to treat symptoms rather than etiological therapies have been used to treat the disease. Over
the last few years, new technologies have been developed, and gene editing strategies are now
moving toward a one-time cure. This review will summarize recent advances in etiological therapies
that target the basic defect in the CF Transmembrane Receptor (CFTR), the protein that is mutated in
CF. We will discuss how newly identified compounds can directly target mutated CFTR to improve
its function. Moreover, we will discuss how proteostasis regulators can modify the environment in
which the mutant CFTR protein is synthesized and decayed, thus restoring CFTR function. The
future of CF therapies lies in combinatory therapies that may be personalized for each CF patient.

Abstract
Sinonasal respiratory epithelium is a highly regulated barrier that employs mucociliary clearance (MCC) as the airways first line of defense. The biological properties of the airway surface liquid (ASL), combined with coordinated ciliary beating, are critical components of the mucociliary apparatus. The ASL volume and viscosity is modulated, in part, by the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). The CFTR is an anion transporter of chloride (Cl−) and bicarbonate (HCO3−) that is located on the apical surface of respiratory epithelium and exocrine glandular epithelium. Improved understanding of how dysfunction or deficiency of CFTR influences the disease process in both genetically defined cystic fibrosis (CF) and acquired conditions has provided further insight into potential avenues of treatment. This review discusses the latest data regarding acquired CFTR deficiency and use of CFTR specific treatment strategies for CRS and other chronic airway diseases.

Abstract
Objective Chloride (Cl−) secretion is crucial for intestinal fluid secretion. Therefore, effects of the polyphenol Resveratrol (RSV) on Cl− secretion have been investigated. In a previous study, we observed effects of RSV on forskolin-induced Cl− secretion in the porcine jejunum but not the ileum although RSV itself induced a transepithelial ion current that may represent Cl− secretion in the ileum. The aim of this study was to gain further insights regarding the effects of RSV on characteristics of Cl− secretion in the porcine ileum using the Ussing chamber technique (recording of short circuit currents (Isc) as a measure for epithelial net ion transfer). Results RSV increased the Isc in the porcine ileum but not in the porcine jejunum as is already known. This increase was absent in a Cl−-free buffer system, indicating that RSV indeed induces Cl− secretion. However, the carbachol-induced Isc was significantly inhibited by RSV indicating an inhibition of Ca2+-induced Cl− secretion. The cellular basis for these contradictory, segment specific results of RSV on Cl− secretion has to be subjected to further studies. The results also underline, that is difficult to generalize effects of RSV between different intestinal locations, organs, cell culture models or species.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene result in defective Cl- transport and cause chronic bacterial infections in the upper and lower airways of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. Ivacaftor is a CFTR potentiator that improves Cl- transport in CF patients with at least 1 copy of the G551D mutation. Resveratrol is also a potent CFTR potentiator that increases determinants of mucociliary transport. The objective of this study is to determine whether resveratrol and ivacaftor improve Cl- secretion in G551D CFTR over either agent alone. METHODS Fisher rat thyroid cells (FRT) transfected with G551D CFTR and human sinonasal epithelial cells (HSNE) containing the CFTR G551D mutation were subjected to pharmacologic manipulation of transepithelial ion transport in Ussing chambers. Activity was further evaluated using whole-cell patch clamp methods in G551D FRT cells. RESULTS In G551D FRT cells, resveratrol (100 μM) and ivacaftor (10 μM) significantly increased Cl- transport (change in short-circuit current, δISC = μA/cm2 ) compared with single-agent and dimethylsulfoxide vehicle controls (resveratrol + ivacaftor 4.97 ± 0.57 vs ivacaftor 0.74 ± 0.12 vs resveratrol 2.96 ± 0.52 vs control 0.74 ± 0.12; p < 0.001). Maximal Cl- secretion (20 μM forskolin) was also significantly enhanced (p < 0.0001). Activity was confirmed in G551D HSNE (resveratrol + ivacaftor 4.48 ± 0.39 vs ivacaftor 1.05 ± 0.11 vs. resveratrol 0.84 ± 0.3 vs control, 0.0 ± 0.02; p < 0.001), and whole-cell patch clamp analysis in G551D FRT cells (resveratrol + ivacaftor -2535 ± 179.3 pA vs ivacaftor -1408.9 ± 101.3 pA vs resveratrol; -766.2 ± 71.2 pA; p < 0.0001). CONCLUSION Additive improvement in G551D CFTR-mediated Cl- secretion suggests that resveratrol could enhance ivacaftor therapy in these patients and improve CF-related rhinosinusitis.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To perform analysis of evidence in current literature on the topic of genetics and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), with a particular focus on recent findings in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR), genes associated with primary ciliary dyskinesia, and taste receptor T2R38. Other genes that have been found to have association with CRS are also presented and discussed. RECENT FINDINGS Recent studies in CFTR and CRS research have investigated possible CFTR-potentiators for treatment of refractory CRS. The T2R38 gene has been shown to be applicable in the clinical setting with a testable phenotype and may have a role in the prognosis and influencing management strategies of CRS patients. Many genes of the immune system have been studied, with genome-wide association studies and candidate-gene approaches identifying new associations that will need replication and further elucidation. SUMMARY CRS is a multifactorial disease, with strong evidence of a genetic component in its pathophysiology for some cases. Currently, there are over 70 genes that have been genetically associated with CRS in the past 15 years. Future investigations into genetic causes and predispositions of CRS may allow for improved prognostication and development of disease-prevention strategies as well as novel therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Like other tumors, lung cancer must induce angiogenesis as it grows. Hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) is the inducible subunit of the HIF-1 transcription factor that regulates genes involved in the response to hypoxia, some of which contributes to angiogenesis. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is one of the genes upregulated by HIF-1 and is the primary cytokine in relation to angiogenesis. In this study we tested whether aberrant activation of hypoxia inducible factor-1α/vascular endothelial growth factor (HIF-1α/VEGF) pathway correlates with response to radiotherapy and examined the response of lung cancer cells to hypoxia in vitro. We determined increased expressions of HIF-1α and VEGF-A in 76 cancerous tissues of responders (complete remission and partial remission). HIF-1α and VEGF-A were shown to be upregulated in lung cancer cells in response to hypoxia. The treatment with anti-HIF-1α siRNA prior to hypoxia exposure was shown to decrease HIF-1α and VEGF-A expressions and reduce hypoxia-induced angiogenesis, suggesting that HIF-1α expression resulted in increased VEGF-A expression and activation of HIF-1α/VEGF pathway was responsible for hypoxia-induced angiogenesis. In conclusion, we identified the relationship between HIF-1α/VEGF pathway and response to radiotherapy and its role in angiogenesis in lung cancer in vitro. HIF-1α/VEGF pathway as a target for antiangiogenic treatment strategies for this tumor requires further investigation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The ciprofloxacin-coated sinus stent (CSS) has unique therapeutic potential to deliver antibiotics to the sinuses. The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the CSS stent in eliminating Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection in a rabbit model of sinusitis. METHODS A ciprofloxacin-eluting sinus stent was created by coating ciprofloxacin/Eudragit RS100 on biodegradable poly-D/L-lactic acid (2 mg). After analyzing in-vitro inhibition of P aeruginosa (PAO-1 strain) biofilm formation, a total of 8 stents (4 shams, 4 CSSs) were placed unilaterally in rabbit maxillary sinuses via dorsal sinusotomy after inducing infection for 1 week with PAO-1. Animals were assessed 2 weeks after stent insertion with nasal endoscopy, sinus culture, computed tomography (CT) scan, histopathology, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). RESULTS PAO-1 biofilm formation was significantly reduced in vitro with exposure to the CSS (p < 0.0001). Insertion of the stent in PAO-1-infected rabbits for 2 weeks resulted in significant improvement in sinusitis according to endoscopy scoring (p < 0.0001) and CT scoring (p < 0.002). Histology and SEM revealed marked improvement in the structure of the mucosa and submucosa with no detection of biofilm structures in the CSS cohort. CONCLUSION Although this study had a small sample size, we identified robust therapeutic efficacy of the CSS by reducing bacterial load and biofilm formation of P aeruginosa in a preclinical model of sinusitis after placement for 2 weeks.

Abstract
Background: Rabbits are useful for preclinical studies of sinusitis because of similar physiologic features to humans. The objective of this study is to develop a rabbit model of sinusitis that permits assessment of microanatomy and sampling for evaluating shifts in the sinus microbiota during the development of sinusitis and to test how the mucociliary clearance (MCC) defect might lead to dysbiosis and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). Methods: Generation of CRS was accomplished with an insertion of a sterile sponge into the left middle meatus of New Zealand white rabbits (n = 9) for 2 weeks. After sponge removal, 4 rabbits were observed for another 10 weeks and evaluated for CRS using endoscopy, microCT, visualization of the functional micro-anatomy by micro-optical coherence tomography (μOCT), and histopathological analysis of the sinus mucosa. Samples were taken from the left middle meatus and submitted for microbiome analysis. Results: CT demonstrated opacification of all left sinuses at 2 weeks in all rabbits (n = 9), which persisted in animals followed for another 12 weeks (n = 4). Histology at week 2 showed mostly neutrophils. On week 14, significant infiltration of plasma cells and lymphocytes was noted with increased submucosal glands compared to controls (p = 0.02). Functional microanatomy at 2 weeks showed diminished periciliary layer (PCL) depth (p < 0.0001) and mucus transport (p = 0.0044) compared to controls despite a thick mucus layer. By 12 weeks, the thickened mucus layer was resolved but PCL depletion persisted in addition to decreased ciliary beat frequency (CBF; p < 0.0001). The mucin fermenting microbes (Lactobacillales, Bacteroidales) dominated on week 2 and there was a significant shift to potential pathogens (e.g., Pseudomonas, Burkholderia) by week 14 compared to both controls and the acute phase (p < 0.05). Conclusion: We anticipate this reproducible model will provide a means for identifying underlying mechanisms of airway-surface liquid (ASL) depletion and fundamental changes in sinus microbial communities that contribute to the development of CRS. The rabbit model of sinusitis exhibited diminished PCL depth with delayed mucus transport and significant alterations and shift in the sinus microbiome during the development of chronic inflammation.

Int Forum Allergy Rhinol 2018; 8:509-512. [PMID: 29319936 DOI: 10.1002/alr.22065] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2017] [Revised: 11/11/2017] [Accepted: 11/16/2017] [Indexed: 01/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) may be initiated by innately impaired host defense mechanisms that predispose the upper airways to infection. Recent evidence suggests tethering of submucosal gland mucus strands represents an inciting event within cystic fibrosis (CF) airways, occurring prior to onset of chronic infection. Submucosal gland hypertrophy and defective mucociliary clearance (MCC) are present in actively inflamed sinuses, but mucus strand velocity may also be affected as a secondary event, further contributing to chronic disease. The objective of this study is to assess whether mucus strand velocity is decreased in patients with CRS. METHODS Mucosal explants from patients with and without CRS were submerged in Ringer's solution mixed with fluorescent nanospheres. Methacholine was then added, and videos demonstrating strand growth and detachment were generated from a time-lapse of Z-stack images using a multiphoton confocal microscope. Dynamic mucus strands were identified and individual velocities quantified with the MTrackJ plug-in of ImageJ. RESULTS Fifteen patients met criteria for ex vivo analysis of mucus strand velocities (CRS, n = 9 vs controls, n = 6). Mucus strands were recorded (pixels/second) streaming from the submucosal gland openings. Average mucus strand velocities were significantly decreased in patients with CRS (1.53 ± 0.67 vs controls, 4.86 ± 1.68 pixels/second; p < 0.001). CONCLUSION This study is the first to report evidence of abnormal mucus strand velocity from submucosal glands in diseased sinonasal mucosa. Future pharmacologic studies targeting this critical component of MCC are warranted.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objectives of the current experiments were to develop and characterize primary rat nasal epithelial cultures and evaluate their usefulness as a model of cystic fibrosis (CF) sinonasal transepithelial transport and CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) function. STUDY DESIGN Laboratory in vitro and animal studies. METHODS CFTR+/+ and CFTR-/- rat nasal septal epithelia (RNSE) were cultured on semipermeable supports at an air-liquid interface to confluence and full differentiation. Monolayers were mounted in Ussing chambers for pharmacologic manipulation of ion transport and compared to similar filters containing murine (MNSE) and human (HSNE) epithelia. Histology and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were completed. Real-time polymerase chain reaction of CFTR+/+ RNSE, MNSE, and HSNE was performed to evaluate relative CFTR gene expression. RESULTS Forskolin-stimulated anion transport (ΔIsc in μA/cm2 ) was significantly greater in epithelia derived from CFTR+/+ when compared to CFTR-/- animals (100.9 ± 3.7 vs. 10.5 ± 0.9; P < 0.0001). Amiloride-sensitive ISC was equivalent (-42.3 ± 2.8 vs. -46.1 ± 2.3; P = 0.524). No inhibition of CFTR-mediated chloride (Cl- ) secretion was exhibited in CFTR-/- epithelia with the addition of the specific CFTR inhibitor, CFTRInh -172. However, calcium-activated Cl- secretion (UTP) was significantly increased in CFTR-/- RNSE (CFTR-/- -106.8 ± 1.6 vs. CFTR+/+ -32.2 ± 3.1; P < 0.0001). All responses were larger in RNSE when compared to CFTR+/+ and CFTR-/- (or F508del/F508del) murine and human cells (P < 0.0001). Scanning electron microscopy demonstrated 80% to 90% ciliation in all RNSE cultures. There was no evidence of infection in CFTR-/- rats at 4 months. CFTR expression was similar among species. CONCLUSION The successful development of the CFTR-/- rat enables improved evaluation of CF sinus disease based on characteristic abnormalities of ion transport. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE NA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dehydration of airway surface liquid (ASL) disrupts normal mucociliary clearance (MCC) in sinonasal epithelium, which may lead to chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). Abnormal chloride (Cl- ) transport is one such mechanism that contributes to this disorder and can be acquired secondary to environmental perturbations, such as hypoxia at the tissue surface. The objective of this study was to assess the technological feasibility of the novel micro-optical coherence tomography (μOCT) imaging technique for investigating acquired MCC defects in cultured human sinonasal epithelial (HSNE) cells. METHODS Primary HSNE cell cultures were subjected to a 1% oxygen environment for 12 hours to induce acquired cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) dysfunction. Ion transport characteristics were assessed with pharmacologic manipulation in Ussing chambers. ASL, periciliary fluid (PCL), and ciliary beat frequency (CBF) were evaluated using μOCT. RESULTS Amiloride-sensitive transport (ΔISC ) was greater in cultures exposed to hypoxia (hypoxia: -13.2 ± 0.6 μA/cm2 ; control: -6.5 ± 0.1 μA/cm2 ; p < 0.01), whereas CFTR-mediated anion transport was significantly diminished (hypoxia: 28.6 ± 0.3 μA/cm2 ; control: 36.2 ± 1.6 μA/cm2 ; p < 0.01), consistent with acquired CFTR dysfunction and sodium hyperabsorption. Hypoxia diminished all markers of airway surface function microanatomy as observed with μOCT, including ASL (hypoxia: 5.0 ± 0.4 μm; control: 9.0 ± 0.9 μm; p < 0.01) and PCL depth (hypoxia: 2.5 ± 0.1 μm; control: 4.8 ± 0.3 μm; p < 0.01), and CBF (hypoxia: 8.7 ± 0.3 Hz; control: 10.2 ± 0.3 Hz; p < 0.01). CONCLUSION Hypoxia-induced defects in epithelial anion transport in HSNE led to predictable effects on markers of MCC measured with novel μOCT imaging. This imaging method represents a technological leap forward and is feasible for assessing acquired defects impacting the airway surface.

Abstract
Systemic and odontogenic etiologies of chronic rhinosinusitis, although rare, are an integral consideration in the comprehensive management of patients with sinonasal disease. Proper knowledge and timely recognition of each disease process, with referrals to appropriate consultants, will facilitate treatment, because many of these conditions require both local and systemic therapy. In some instances, medical therapy plays a pivotal role, with surgery being a supplemental treatment technique. We review the most commonly encountered systemic etiologies of chronic rhinosinusitis and odontogenic sinusitis, including clinical presentation, diagnosis, management, and treatment outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The purpose of this review is to provide otolaryngologists with the most up-to-date advancements in both the medical and surgical management of CF-related sinus disease. RECENT FINDINGS Recent studies have supported more aggressive CRS management, often with a combination of both medical and surgical therapies. Comprehensive treatment strategies have been shown to reduce hospital admissions secondary to pulmonary exacerbations in addition to improving CRS symptoms. Still, current management strategies are lacking in both high-level evidence and standardized guidelines. SUMMARY The unified airway model describes the bi-directional relationship between the upper and lower airways as a single functional unit and suggests that CRS may play a pivotal role in both the development and progression of lower airway disease. Current strategies for CF CRS focus primarily on amelioration of symptoms with antibiotics, nasal saline and/or topical medicated irrigations, and surgery. However, there are no definitive management guidelines and there remains a persistent need for additional studies. Nevertheless, otolaryngologists have a significant role in the overall management of CF, which requires a multi-disciplinary approach and a combination of both surgical and medical interventions for optimal outcomes of airway disease. Here we present a review of currently available literature and summarize medical and surgical therapies best suited for the management of CF-related sinus disease.

Abstract
Mutations of the CFTR gene cause cystic fibrosis (CF), the most common recessive monogenic disease worldwide. These mutations alter the synthesis, processing, function, or half-life of CFTR, the main chloride channel expressed in the apical membrane of epithelial cells in the airway, intestine, pancreas, and reproductive tract. Lung disease is the most critical manifestation of CF. It is characterized by airway obstruction, infection, and inflammation that lead to fatal tissue destruction. In spite of great advances in early and multidisciplinary medical care, and in our understanding of the pathophysiology, CF is still considerably reducing the life expectancy of patients. This review highlights the current development in pharmacological modulators of CFTR, which aim at rescuing the expression and/or function of mutated CFTR. While only Kalydeco® and Orkambi® are currently available to patients, many other families of CFTR modulators are undergoing preclinical and clinical investigations. Drug repositioning and personalized medicine are particularly detailed in this review as they represent the most promising strategies for restoring CFTR function in CF.

Abstract
Nasal potential difference (NPD), a well-established in vivo clinical test for cystic fibrosis, reflects transepithelial cation and anion transport in the respiratory epithelium. To analyze whether NPD can be applied to diagnose hypoxic lung injury, we searched PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, Web of Science, Ovid MEDLINE, and Google Scholar, and analyzed data retrieved from eleven unbiased studies for high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) and respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) using the software RevMan and R. There was a significant reduction in overall basal (WMD -5.27 mV, 95% CI: -6.03 to -4.52, P < 0.00001, I(2) = 42%), amiloride-sensitive (ENaC) (-2.87 mV, 95% CI: -4.02 to -1.72, P < 0.00001, I(2) = 51%), and -resistant fractions (-3.91 mV, 95% CI: -7.64 to -0.18, P = 0.04, I(2) = 95%) in lung injury patients. Further analysis of HAPE and RDS separately corroborated these observations. Moreover, SpO2 correlated with ENaC-associated NPD positively in patients only, but apparently related to CFTR-contributed NPD level inversely. These correlations were confirmed by the opposite associations between NPD values and altitude, which had a negative regression with SpO2 level. Basal NPD was significantly associated with amiloride-resistant but not ENaC fraction. Our analyses demonstrate that acute lung injury associated with systemic hypoxia is characterized by dysfunctional NPD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a heterogeneous and multifactorial disease characterized by dysregulated inflammation. Abnormalities in innate immune function including sinonasal epithelial cell barrier function, mucociliary clearance, response to pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) via pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), and the contribution of innate immune cells will be highlighted in this review. DATA SOURCES PubMed literature review. REVIEW METHODS A review of the literature was conducted to determine what we have learned from animal models in relation to innate immunity and chronic rhinosinusitis. RESULTS Dysregulation of innate immune mechanisms including sinonasal barrier function, mucociliary clearance, PAMPs, and innate immune cells such as eosinophils, mast cells, and innate lymphoid cells may contribute to CRS pathogenesis. Sinonasal inflammation has been studied using mouse, rat, rabbit, pig, and sheep explant or in vivo models. Study using these models has allowed for analysis of experimental therapeutics and furthered our understanding of the aforementioned aspects of the innate immune mechanism as it relates to sinonasal inflammation. These include augmenting mucociliary clearance through activation of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) and study of drug toxicity on ciliary beat frequency. Knockout models of Toll-like receptors (TLR) have demonstrated the critical role these PRRs play in allergic inflammation as loss of TLR2 and TLR4 leads to decreased lower airway inflammation. Mast cell deficient mice are less susceptible to ovalbumin-induced sinonasal inflammation. CONCLUSION Animal models have shed light as to the potential contribution of dysregulated innate immunity in chronic sinonasal inflammation.
