J Inflamm Res 2024; 17:5619-5631. [PMID: 39193125 PMCID: PMC11348992 DOI: 10.2147/jir.s472963] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2024] [Accepted: 08/07/2024] [Indexed: 08/29/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Exosomes carry various types of transcripts and serve as promising biomarkers for inflammatory diseases. However, the role of serum exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs) in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is poorly clarified. Methods A prospective exploratory cohort of 10 CRSwNP patients was conducted, and the serum exosome samples were subjected to miRNA sequencing. Two independent prospective cohorts, consisting of 40 and 54 patients respectively, were recruited from different medical centers for validation. These cohorts were monitored for over two years, with postoperative recurrence serving as the primary outcome measure. The top 3 differentially exosomal miRNAs were validated in the serum samples, and their predictive values for recurrence were assessed. Results Eight CRSwNP patients completed the follow-up, comprising 4 non-recurrent cases and 4 recurrent cases. Distinctive profiles of serum exosomal miRNAs were identified between the two groups. In the first validation cohort, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction results indicated elevated serum exosomal miR-3174 and miR-6750-5p expressions, along with reduced miR-192-3p levels in the recurrence group compared to the non-recurrence group. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis demonstrated significant correlations between expressions of exosomal miR-3174 and miR-192-3p and the risk of postoperative recurrence. These findings were further validated in the second cohort, confirming the elevation of both miRNAs in the recurrence group and their associations with recurrence risk. Additionally, serum exosomal miR-3174 levels increased in recurrent cases compared to their baseline levels. Conclusion Circulating exosomal microRNA signatures may influence the risk of postoperative recurrence in CRSwNP patients. Serum exosomal elevated exosomal miR-3174 and decreased miR-192-3p were correlated with CRSwNP recurrence risk.

The Role of the Gut and Airway Microbiota in Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyps: A Systematic Review. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:8223. [PMID: 39125792 PMCID: PMC11311313 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25158223] [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: 07/02/2024] [Revised: 07/22/2024] [Accepted: 07/24/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024] Open
Abstract
In recent years, there has been growing interest in understanding the potential role of microbiota dysbiosis or alterations in the composition and function of human microbiota in the development of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP). This systematic review evaluated the literature on CRSwNP and host microbiota for the last ten years, including mainly nasal bacteria, viruses, and fungi, following the PRISMA guidelines and using the major scientific publication databases. Seventy original papers, mainly from Asia and Europe, met the inclusion criteria, providing a comprehensive overview of the microbiota composition in CRSwNP patients and its implications for inflammatory processes in nasal polyps. This review also explores the potential impact of microbiota-modulating therapies for the CRSwNP treatment. Despite variability in study populations and methodologies, findings suggest that fluctuations in specific taxa abundance and reduced bacterial diversity can be accepted as critical factors influencing the onset or severity of CRSwNP. These microbiota alterations appear to be implicated in triggering cell-mediated immune responses, cytokine cascade changes, and defects in the epithelial barrier. Although further human studies are required, microbiota-modulating strategies could become integral to future combined CRSwNP treatments, complementing current therapies that mainly target inflammatory mediators and potentially improving patient outcomes.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) reportedly play significant roles in the progression of various cancers and hold huge potential as both diagnostic tools and therapeutic targets. Given the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the precise functions of several miRNAs in cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), this research undertakes a comprehensive analysis of CCA data sourced from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) databases. The present study identified a novel miRNA, specifically miR-26b-3p, which exhibited prognostic value for individuals with CCA. Notably, miR-26b-3p was upregulated within CCA samples, with an inverse correlation established with patient prognosis (Hazard Ratio = 8.19, p = 0.018). Through a combination of functional enrichment analysis, analysis of the LncRNA-miR-26b-3p-mRNA interaction network, and validation by qRT PCR and western blotting, this study uncovered the potential of miR-26b-3p in potentiating the malignant progression of CCA via regulation of essential genes (including PSMD14, XAB2, SLC4A4) implicated in processes such as endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and responses to misfolded proteins. Our findings introduce novel and valuable insights that position miR-26b-3p-associated genes as promising biomarkers for the diagnosis and treatment of CCA.

Abstract
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a common chronic nasal cavity and sinus disease affecting a growing number of individuals worldwide. Recent advances have shifted our understanding of CRS pathophysiology from a physical obstruction model of ventilation and drainage to a mucosal concept that recognizes the complexities of mucosal immunologic variations and cellular aberrations. A growing number of studies have demonstrated the alteration of the epithelial barrier during inflammatory states. Therefore, the current review has focused on the crucial role of epithelial cells within this mucosal framework in CRS, detailing the perturbed epithelial homeostasis, impaired epithelial cell barrier, dysregulated epithelial cell repair processes, and enhanced interactions between epithelial cells and immune cells. Notably, the utilization of novel technologies, such as single-cell transcriptomics, has revealed the novel functions of epithelial barriers, such as inflammatory memory and neuroendocrine functions. Therefore, this review also emphasizes the importance of epithelial inflammatory memory and the necessity of further investigations into neuroendocrine epithelial cells and neurogenic inflammation in CRS. We conclude by contemplating the prospective benefits of epithelial cell-oriented biological treatments, which are currently under investigation in rigorous randomized, double-blind clinical trials in patients with CRS with nasal polyps.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The nasal cavity is the initial site of the human respiratory tract and is one of the habitats where microorganisms colonize. The findings from a growing number of studies have shown that the nasal microbiome is an important factor for human disease and health. 16S rRNA sequencing and metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) are the most commonly used means of microbiome evaluation. Among them, 16S rRNA sequencing is the primary method used in previous studies of nasal microbiomes. However, neither 16S rRNA sequencing nor mNGS can be used to analyze the genes specifically expressed by nasal microorganisms and their functions. This problem can be addressed by proteomic analysis of the nasal microbiome. AREAS COVERED In this review, we summarize current advances in research on the nasal microbiome, introduce the methods for proteomic evaluation of the nasal microbiome, and focus on the important roles of proteomic evaluation of the nasal microbiome in the diagnosis and treatment of related diseases. EXPERT OPINION The detection method for microbiome-expressed proteins is known as metaproteomics. Metaproteomic analysis can help us dig deeper into the nasal microbiomes and provide new targets and ideas for clinical diagnosis and treatment of many nasal dysbiosis-related diseases.

CD109 identified in circulating proteomics mitigates postoperative recurrence in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps by suppressing TGF-β1-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Int Immunopharmacol 2024; 130:111793.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a common inflammatory disorder with a high rate of recurrence. This study aimed to explore biomarkers for identifying patients with recurrent CRSwNP (rCRSwNP). METHODS We recruited two independent cohorts. In the discovery cohort, rCRSwNP patients and non-recurrent CRSwNP (non-rCRSwNP) patients were recruited, and the serum proteomic profile was characterized. The top 5 upregulated and downregulated proteins were confirmed in the validation cohort by ELISA, WB, and qRT-PCR, and their predictive values for postoperative recurrence were assessed. In vitro, human nasal epithelial cells (HNEpCs) were employed to assess the ability of candidate proteins to induce epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). RESULTS Serum proteomics identified 53 different proteins, including 30 increased and 23 decreased, between the rCRSwNP and non-rCRSwNP groups. ELISA results revealed that serum levels of CD163 and TGF-β1 were elevated, CD109 and PRDX2 were decreased in the rCRSwNP group compared to the non-rCRSwNP group, and serum CD163, TGF-β1, and CD109 levels were proved to be associated with the risk of postoperative recurrence. In addition, qRT-PCR and WB revealed that tissue CD163, TGF-β1, and CD109 expressions in rCRSwNP patients were enhanced compared to those non-rCRSwNP patients. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that increased CD163 and TGF-β1 expression and decreased CD109 expression are associated with the risk of recurrence in CRSwNP patients. Receiver operating characteristic curves showed that TGF-β1 and CD109 had superior diagnostic performances for rCRSwNP. In vitro experiments showed that TGF-β1 promoted EMT in HNEpCs, and overexpression of CD109 reversed this effect. Functional recovery experiments confirmed that CD109 could attenuate EMT in HNEpCs by inhibiting the TGF-β1/Smad signaling pathway, attenuating EMT in epithelial cells. CONCLUSION Our data suggested that TGF-β1 and CD109 might serve as promising predictors of rCRSwNP. The TGF-β1/Smad pathway was implicated in fostering EMT in epithelial cells, particularly those exhibiting low expression of CD109. Consequently, the absence of CD109 expression in epithelial cells could be a potential mechanism underlying rCRSwNP.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review aims to provide updates in realms of endotypic heterogeneity, pathogenesis at the molecular level, potential of biomarkers, and cutting-edge scope of biologics in CRS. RECENT FINDINGS High-dimensional analyses, such as transcriptomes, and machine learning, have significantly enhanced CRS endotyping, uncovering diverse pathogenetic mechanisms contributing to its heterogeneity. The dynamic process of epithelial remodeling in CRS pathogenesis has gained more clarity and support as exemplified by IL-13 and oncostatin M (OSM) that are shown intricately linked to epithelial barrier dysfunction. Moreover, anti-dsDNA autoantibody, BAFF, periostin, and cystatin SN show promise as potentials biomarkers, offering diagnostic and prognostic value for CRS. SUMMARY The identification of inflammatory molecules involved in endotype specific signaling pathways provides insights into the underlying mechanisms and verifiable biomarkers for diagnosis and prediction of disease severity. More comprehensive clinical studies should be conducted to facilitate biologics from bench to bedside in treating CRS.

Niu Y, Cao S, Ma X, Xu Z, Wu H. Multiple cytokine analyses identify CSF1 as a robust biomarker for predicting postoperative recurrence in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps. Int Immunopharmacol 2024; 127:111430. [PMID: 38142640 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2023.111430] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2023] [Revised: 12/10/2023] [Accepted: 12/19/2023] [Indexed: 12/26/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a heterogeneous disease with a high rate of postoperative recurrence. This study aimed to discover potential biomarkers by analyzing multiple cytokine profiles in serum to predict postoperative recurrence in CRSwNP and to explore the underlying mechanisms. METHODS In this prospective study, we enrolled 18 healthy controls (HC) and 60 CRSwNP patients and analyzed the baseline serum cytokine profiles using the Luminex assay. Patients were followed up for more than 2 years and divided into non-recurrence and Recurrence groups. The differentially expressed cytokines were validated in the serum and tissue samples in a validation cohort, and their predictive values for recurrence were evaluated. RESULTS Fifty-four CRSwNP patients completed the follow-up schedule, including 37 patients in the non-Recurrence group and 17 patients in the Recurrence group. Multiple cytokine analyses showed that serum CD40, CD40L, IL-18, IL-8, MCP1, and CSF1 levels were elevated in the CRSwNP group, especially in the Recurrence group, compared to the HC group. Receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC) and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that serum levels of CD40, CD40L, and CSF1 were closely associated with the risk of postoperative recurrence. Further validation results showed that both serum and tissue mRNA levels of CD40, CD40L, and CSF1 were significantly higher in the Recurrence group in comparison with the non-recurrence and HC groups, and tissue CSF1 mRNA expression exhibited a robust value for predicting the CRSwNP recurrence. Immunofluorescence results revealed that CSF1 was enhanced in the recurrent CRSwNP patients, especially in the epithelial cell area, and CSF1 expressions were augmented when patients suffered postoperative recurrence. CONCLUSIONS Circulating cytokine profiles may affect the risk of postoperative recurrence in CRSwNP patients. Our discovery-validation results suggested that CSF1 might serve as a robust biomarker for predicting CRSwNP recurrence.

Abstract
Since the 1960 s, our health has been compromised by exposure to over 350,000 newly introduced toxic substances, contributing to the current pandemic in allergic, autoimmune and metabolic diseases. The "Epithelial Barrier Theory" postulates that these diseases are exacerbated by persistent periepithelial inflammation (epithelitis) triggered by exposure to a wide range of epithelial barrier-damaging substances as well as genetic susceptibility. The epithelial barrier serves as the body's primary physical, chemical, and immunological barrier against external stimuli. A leaky epithelial barrier facilitates the translocation of the microbiome from the surface of the afflicted tissues to interepithelial and even deeper subepithelial locations. In turn, opportunistic bacterial colonization, microbiota dysbiosis, local inflammation and impaired tissue regeneration and remodelling follow. Migration of inflammatory cells to susceptible tissues contributes to damage and inflammation, initiating and aggravating many chronic inflammatory diseases. The objective of this review is to highlight and evaluate recent studies on epithelial physiology and its role in the pathogenesis of chronic diseases in light of the epithelial barrier theory.

Abstract
Background Face masks have become a common sight during the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in many countries. However, the impact of prolonged face mask wearing on nasal microbiota of healthy people is not fully understood. Methods In this study, we compared the nasal microbiota of 82 young adults who wore face masks for an extended period of time to 172 mask-free peers from the same school recruited before the COVID-19 pandemic via 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing. Diversity, composition, and function of nasal microbiota between the two groups were analyzed. Prevalence of commensal bacteria colonized in the nasal cavity was determined by culture-based analysis. Results We observed that prolonged face mask wearers had significantly different nasal microbial characterization and metabolic function compared to mask-free controls from 2018. Specifically, the nasal microbiota of the prolonged mask wearers displayed increased abundance of Staphylococcus, Pseudoalteromonas, Corynebacterium, etc. Meanwhile, the abundance of several genera including Bacteroides, Faecalibacterium, and Agathobacter was decreased. Moreover, we observed that COVID-19 infection history did not affect the composition of nasal microbiota significantly. Additionally, the culture-based analysis revealed that Staphylococcus aureus and Corynebacterium accolens increased, and Staphylococcus epidermidis decreased in the nasal cavity of prolonged mask wearers. Conclusions Overall, our study suggests that prolonged face mask wearing can significantly alter the nasal microbiota.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The microbiome plays a crucial role in odontogenic sinusitis (OS); however, the bacterial characteristics of the sinuses and connected dental regions in OS are poorly understood. In this study, nasal secretion samples were collected from 41 OS patients and 20 simple nasal septum deviation patients, and oral mucosa samples from dental regions were collected from 28 OS patients and 22 impacted tooth extraction patients. DNA was extracted, and 16S rRNA sequencing was performed to explore the characteristics and structure of the microbiome in the sinuses and dental regions of OS patients. RESULTS The alpha diversity of the oral and nasal microbiomes in OS patients was higher than that in controls. Principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) showed that oral samples clustered separately from nasal samples, and the beta diversity of oral and nasal samples in OS patients was higher than that in controls. The dominant phylum was Bacteroidetes in OS patients and Firmicutes in controls in both the oral and nasal cavity. The dominant genera in the oral microbiome and nasal microbiome of OS patients were similar, including Fusobacterium, Porphyromonas and Prevotella. Co-occurrence network analysis showed decreased microbial connectivity in the oral mucosa and nasal secretion samples of OS patients. CONCLUSIONS Odontogenic infection promotes structural and functional disorders of the nasal microbiome in OS. The interaction of dominant pathogens in the nasal and oral regions may promote the development of OS. Our study provides the microbiological aetiology of the nasal and connected dental regions in OS and is expected to provide novel insights into the diagnosis and therapeutic strategies for OS.

Abstract
(1) Background: The recurrence rate of childhood recurrent sinusitis varies widely between 12% and 50%, with the postoperative recurrence risk factors remaining largely unidentified. We sought to enhance the understanding of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) via a retrospective observational childhood cohort. (2) Methods: The study recruited 125 cases. Demographic data and univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to investigate potential risk factors of childhood recurrent sinusitis following functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS). (3) Results: A postoperative recurrence rate of 21.6% was determined. Among the participants, 21 cases presented a history of allergic rhinitis (AR), with the remaining 104 cases being AR-free. A significantly heightened recurrence rate was noted in those bearing a history of AR compared to their counterparts devoid of such history (p < 0.000). The fully adjusted logistic regression model indicated a 21.04-fold increased risk of postoperative recurrence in childhood CRS bearing a history of AR compared to those without an AR history (p = 0.000), highlighting the history of AR as an independent risk factor for postoperative childhood recurrent sinusitis (p = 0.001); (4) Conclusions: The data implicate AR as an independent risk factor for postoperative childhood recurrent sinusitis.

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
INTRODUCTION Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a heterogeneous disease, and its complex pathophysiological characteristics pose a challenge to its clinical treatment. CRS is distinguished not only by clinical phenotype but also by endotype characteristics, which are divided into type 2 CRS and non-type 2 CRS. AREAS COVERED In this review, we summarize and discuss current studies that depict the mechanisms and endotypes of CRS. In particular, inflammatory cells and the microbiome play a role in the pathophysiology of CRS. We also listed some of the biomarkers described in recent studies that may serve as a theoretical foundation for additional investigations. We have summarized the advantages and disadvantages of existing treatments and listed the available biological treatments for CRS in detail. EXPERT OPINION Endotype-driven therapeutic options face many challenges because of the complexity of the disease. Glucocorticoids, nasal endoscopic surgery, and biological therapy are the main treatments used in clinical practice, but they have limitations. This review provides advice on the clinical management and treatment options for patients with different endotypes, which will be more conducive to improving the quality of life and reducing the financial burden on patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Exposure to microbes may be important in the development of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). Dysbiosis of the nasal microbiome is considered to be related to CRS with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). The link between the nasal microbiota and eosinophilic CRSwNP (eCRSwNP) has rarely been studied. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to rigorously characterize nasal dysbiosis in a cohort of patients with eCRSwNP and compare the nasal microbiomes of these patients with those of healthy controls (HCs). METHODS We performed a cross-sectional study of 34 patients with eCRSwNP, 10 patients without CRSwNP, and 44 HCs by using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. An independent cohort of 14 patients with eCRSwNP, 9 patients without CRSwNP, and 11 HCs was used to validate the results. RESULTS Compared with the nasal microbiome of healthy controls, the nasal microbiome of patients with eCRSwNP was characterized by higher α-diversity (Shannon and Chao1 index) and a distinct composition of microbes. Notably, the distinct differences in microbial composition between patients with eCRSwNP and HCs were significantly correlated with eCRSwNP disease status. Furthermore, in a diagnostic model generated by using these differences, a combination of 15 genera could be used to distinguish patients with eCRSwNP from HCs, with an area under the curve of approximately 0.8 in both the exploration and validation cohorts. CONCLUSION Our study establishes the compositional alterations in the nasal microbiome in eCRSwNP and suggests the potential for using the nasal microbiota as a noninvasive predictive classifier for the diagnosis of eCRSwNP.

Am J Otolaryngol 2023; 44:103841. [PMID: 36948079 DOI: 10.1016/j.amjoto.2023.103841] [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: 11/15/2022] [Revised: 03/01/2023] [Accepted: 03/14/2023] [Indexed: 03/19/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Elevated body mass index (BMI) has been associated with an increased prevalence of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). However, the impact of BMI on the risk of recurrence of CRS is unknown. This study aimed to investigate the association between BMI and the risk of CRS recurrence. MATERIAL AND METHODS A retrospective cohort study was conducted and recruited 1057 CRS patients who underwent functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS). All subjects were classified into four groups: "underweight", "normal weight", "overweight", and "obese". Multivariate regression analysis was performed to examine the associations between BMI categories and other factors and the risk of CRS recurrence. RESULTS The rate of recurrent CRS was significantly higher in the overweight group and obese group than in the normal weight group (P < 0.05). Unadjusted and adjusted logistic regression analyses demonstrated that overweight and obesity exhibited an increased risk of CRS recurrence as compared to patients with normal weight (P < 0.05). Furthermore, all patients were divided into primary CRS group and recurrent CRS group, and the BMI, duration of disease and rate of allergic rhinitis were vastly increased in the recurrent group than in the primary group (P < 0.05). Univariate and multivariate regression analysis showed that BMI and duration of disease were the dominant risk factors of CRS recurrence (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Overweight and obesity presented significant impacts on the CRS recurrence, and elevated BMI were associated with an increased risk of CRS recurrence independently from traditional risk factors. A longer duration of disease was correlated with a higher risk of CRS recurrence.

Abstract
Objective Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), a common disease in otorhinolaryngology, seriously affects the life quality of patients. The existing therapy has certain limitations, and it is very urgent to deeply explore the pathogenesis and classification of CRS. Microbiome and inflammation are considered the causes of CRS, but the precise roles and the associations between these two factors in the pathogenesis of CRS remain controversial. Methods Secretions were collected from the middle nasal canal, maxillary sinus and ethmoid sinus in CRS patients, then subjected to 16 S rRNA gene sequencing to profile microbiota community. Operational Taxonomic Units clustering and species annotation were adopted to obtain species diversity, prevalence rate and average relative abundance. Comparisons were performed at the level of microbial species and genus between CRS and control using NMDS, Anosim and MetaStat analysis. Th1 cytokines and Th2 cytokines were detected by ELISA. Spearman analysis were adopted to probe into the correlation between Th cytokines and microbial species in CRS. Results Thirty-seven patients were enrolled, among them 22 with CRS and 15 were controls. The most abundant genera were Corynebacterium and Staphylococcus no matter in CRS patients or control. Corynebacterium propinquum was significant decreased in CRS patients no matter with nasal polyp or not. The abundances of Prevotella birria and Carnobacterium maltaromaticum were significantly different between CRSsNP and CRSwNP group. The levels of cytokines IL-2, TNF-α, IFN-ɣ, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10 were all increased in CRS patients. The cytokines levels were associated with specific microbial species in nasal tissue. Conclusion The changes of species richness and complexity in nasal microbiome were obvious in CRS patients with nasal polyps or not. The different cytokines levels and microbiome between CRS patients without nasal polyps and patients with nasal polyps suggest heterogeneity in pathogenesis of chronic rhinosinusitis. Distinct microbiota and different cytokines were strongly linked in CRS. Level of Evidence NA.

Abstract
The role of nasal microbiota in contributing to neuroinflammation is gradually emerging. Multiple sclerosis and chronic rhinosinusitis share important clinical and epidemiological similarities, and the hypothetical connection among these two pathological entities should be carefully investigated. This editorial is based on a review of available literature on this topic. The main international databases were searched using the following keywords: neuroinflammation, nasal microbiota, multiple sclerosis, chronic rhino-sinusal disorders, chronic sinusitis. Four fully-consistent articles that investigated nasal microbiota alteration and/or chronic rhinosinusitis presence in subjects affected by multiple sclerosis were identified. Overall, these studies showed a significant connection between nasal microbiota dysbiosis and the presence of multiple sclerosis. New specific studies to analyze the nasal microbiota and its metabolism in patients affected by multiple sclerosis should be performed. In fact, a series of treatments able to change this flora could improve the rhino-sinusal state with consequent reduction of recurrent episodes of neuro-inflammation.

Abstract
BackgroundChronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is often characterized by recurrent nasal polyp (NP) growth following surgical removal, but the mechanisms are still not clear. This study aimed to investigate the expression of chemoattractant receptor-homologous molecule expressed on Th2 cells (CRTH2) receptor on NP and the role it plays in eosinophil inflammation and polyp recurrence.MethodsForty-one CRSwNPs patients and seventeen controls were enrolled in this study. mRNA was extracted from nasal tissues and evaluated for expression of CRTH2. Immunofluorescence staining was performed to confirm the distribution and expression of CRTH2 protein. CRTH2 expression on peripheral blood eosinophils was quantified by flow cytometry. The eosinophil count and clinical implications were also evaluated and their correlations with CRTH2 expression were analyzed.ResultsNasal polyps displayed increased expression of CRTH2 in mRNA level compared with control samples, with the highest expression observed in recurrent NP. Immunofluorescence confirmed over-expression of CRTH2 in recurrent NP and this was independent of the concurrent presence of asthma. CRTH2 expression was positively correlated with tissue eosinophil number (Spearman’s ρ=0.69, P<0.001) and the postoperative sino-nasal outcome test-22 (SNOT-22) score (Spearman’s ρ=0.67, P<0.001). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves revealed CRTH2 was more predictive for NP recurrence compared to either eosinophil number and concomitant asthma, with an area under the ROC curve of 0.9107.ConclusionThe over-expression of CRTH2 in recurrent nasal polyps correlates with greater eosinophilic inflammation and poor prognosis which is independent of concomitant asthma.

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.

Predictive Values of Serum IL-33 and sST2 in Endotypes and Postoperative Recurrence of Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyps. Mediators Inflamm 2022; 2022:9155080.

Abstract
Background. Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a common inflammatory disease with high heterogeneity and postoperative recidivation. The IL-33/ST2 axis is known to be involved in Th2 immune responses. This study is aimed at exploring levels of serum IL-33 and soluble ST2 (sST2) in CRSwNP patients and their potential for predicting CRSwNP endotypes and postoperative recurrence. Methods. The present study recruited 149 CRSwNP patients, 80 of whom were noneosinophilic (neCRSwNP) and 69 eosinophilic (eCRSwNP), as well as 60 healthy controls (HCs). Serum samples were collected from all participants, and sST2 and IL-33 concentrations were measured using ELISA. Multivariate analysis, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, and Kaplan-Meier curves were used to evaluate the value of serum sST2 and IL-33 levels in distinguishing CRSwNP endotypes and predicting postoperative recurrence. Results. The levels of serum sST2 and IL-33 in CRSwNP patients were significantly higher than those in HCs, especially in the eCRSwNP group. Increased sST2 and IL-33 levels were associated with eosinophil counts and percentages in both tissue and blood. Multivariate regression and ROC curve analysis showed that serum sST2 and IL-33 exhibited potential for distinguishing CRSwNP endotypes, and the combination of serum IL-33 and sST2 showed even more predictive power. Finally, 124 CRSwNP patients completed the entire 3-year follow-up. Multivariate analysis and Kaplan-Meier curves showed that serum sST2 and IL-33 levels were associated with recurrence; serum sST2 and IL-33 each exhibited potential for predicting postoperative recurrence, and combining serum sST2 and IL-33 exhibited better accuracy and practicability. Conclusion. Our results suggested that serum sST2 and IL-33 levels were upregulated in CRSwNP patients and related to the degree of mucosal eosinophil infiltration and postoperative recurrence. Serum sST2 and IL-33 might serve as objective biomarkers for distinguishing phenotypes and predicting recurrence in CRSwNP, and their combined use outperformed either marker alone.

Abstract
Major progress has been achieved in the understanding and clinical practice of chronic rhinosinusitis, with or without nasal polyps. These advances resulted in a better understanding of the pathophysiology, the distribution into subgroups, and consequently in a better management perspective using classical approaches and biologics. Pathomechanisms, endotypes and biomarkers, and finally innovative therapeutic approaches are themes especially for the more severe forms of chronic rhinosinusitis, those with uncontrolled severe nasal polyps. Biologicals against key type 2 cytokines are gaining ground in the long-term treatment approaches of often recurrent nasal polyps, and should be integrated in care pathways making use of classical and innovative treatment pathways. These areas of interest show a fast development and will profoundly change our disease management within a decade.
