Abstract
CRS with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a multifactorial disease, and various etiological factors like bacterial superantigens are known to develop this disease. Recent studies reported that Staphylococcus aureus nasal colonization was detected in 67% of the patients with CRSwNP. Moreover, it was reported that specific IgE against S. aureus enterotoxins are discovered in almost half of the nasal tissue homogenates from nasal polyps. Thus, investigations have highlighted the role of staphylococcal enterotoxins, especially enterotoxin B (SEB), in pathogenesis of CRSwNP. The destruction of mucosal integrity was reported as a main SEB-related pathogenic mechanisms in CRSwNP. SEB activates Toll Like Receptor 2 and triggers the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines; furthermore, it induces reactive oxygen species and endoplasmic reticulum stress-induced inflammation that may cause epithelial cell integrity disruption and enhance their permeability. SEB-induced Type 2/Th2 pathway results in degranulation of eosinophils, cationic proteins production, and localized eosinophilic inflammation. Furthermore, SEB may be involved in the expression of RORC and HIF-1α in Tregs and by maintaining the inflammation in sinonasal mucosa that could have a main role in the pathogenesis of nasal polyposis. Different in vitro findings were confirmed in animal studies; however, in vivo analysis of SEB-induced nasal polyps and CRS remains unfulfilled due to the lack of appropriate animal models. Finally, after elucidating different aspects of SEB pathogenesis in CRSwNP, therapeutic agents have been tested in recent studies with some encouraging results. The purpose of this article is to summarize the most important findings regarding SEB-induced CRS and nasal polyposis. Video Abstract

Abstract
Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is an inflammation‑mediated disease of the nasal mucosa. P2X7R has been reported to be a potential biomarker for inflammation. The aim of the present study was to explore the role of P2X7R in CRSwNP, and the interaction between P2X7R and the NLRP3 inflammasome in the development of CRSwNP. Firstly, the expression profiles of P2X7R in nasal mucosa were investigated using western blotting (WB), polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and immunofluorescence (IF) staining. Next, the effect of inflammatory stimulation with lipopolysaccharides (LPS) combined with 2'(3')‑O‑(4‑benzoylbenzoyl) adenosine 5'‑triphosphate triethylammonium salt (BzATP) on primary human nasal epithelial cells (HNECs) was determined. Then, the therapeutic effect of the selective P2X7R antagonist, A740003, on P3X7R, NOD‑like receptor pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome and IL‑1β alterations in HNECs was explored using enzyme‑linked immunosorbent assay, WB and PCR. It was found that P2X7R was overexpressed in CRSwNP, especially in eosinophilic CRSwNP, the expression of P2X7R, NLRP3 and IL‑1β were upregulated in HNECs after induction by LPS combined with BzATP; but the expression of NLRP3 and IL‑1β were downregulated after stimulation with A740003. The aforementioned results indicate that P2X7R‑mediated NLRP3 inflammasome activation may have a role in the pathogenesis of CRSwNP.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is characterized by a chronic type 2 inflammatory response in the paranasal sinuses. Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are potent innate immune cells that contribute to type 2 inflammation by producing cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-4, IL-5, and IL-13. There is increasing evidence suggesting that ILC2s play an important role in the CRSwNP pathogenesis. DATA SOURCES We reviewed published literature obtained through PubMed inquiries. STUDY SELECTIONS Studies relevant to the presence, function, and activation of ILC2s in CRSwNP were included. RESULTS Nasal polyps (NPs) are one of the first tissues in which human ILC2s were discovered, and many groups have since reported that these cells are highly elevated in NPs. ILC2s in NPs are also highly activated and produce type 2 cytokines in vivo. Mediators known to activate ILC2s, including receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-Β ligand, thymic stromal lymphopoietin, various lipid mediators (including prostaglandin D2 and cysteinyl leukotrienes), IL-4, and IL-13 have also been shown to be elevated in NPs compared with healthy sinonasal tissue. Other well-known ILC2 activators, IL-25 and IL-33, are sometimes elevated in NPs in some countries. Furthermore, activation of ILC2s by means of 4 distinct transcriptional pathways (nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells, nuclear factor of activated T cells, signal transducer and activator of transcription 5, and signal transducer and activator of transcription 6) is needed for the most robust generation of type 2 cytokines. CONCLUSION ILC2-mediated type 2 inflammation plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of CRSwNP. Targeting the upstream mediators responsible for activating ILC2s and the downstream products that these cells release may play an important role in modifying the inflammatory response and improving clinical outcomes in CRSwNP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND IL-36 family, a recently reported member of the IL-1 cytokine family, plays an essential role in nonspecific innate immune response to infection. This study aims at investigating the expression of IL-36 family members (α, β, and γ) in normal and inflammatory sinus mucosa of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), their effects on chemokine secretion and on the barrier function of epithelial and endothelial cells, and the effect of Toll-like receptors on the expression of IL-36 in epithelial cells. MATERIAL AND METHODS The expression of IL-36 family in normal and inflammatory sinus mucosa, the production of chemokines or the expression levels of IL-36 family in epithelial cells treated with IL-36 family members or stimulated with TLR3, TLR4, TLR5, or TLR7/8 agonists were measured with real time PCR, ELISA, immunohistochemistry, or Western blot. The epithelial and endothelial permeability, and transendothelial leukocyte migration were investigated using cultured epithelial and endothelial cells. RESULTS IL-36α, IL-36β, and IL-36γ were localized in epithelial cells of sinonasal mucosa. Their levels increased in inflammatory mucosa of CRS patients and are up-regulated by TLR3, TLR4, or TLR5 agonists. IL-36α, or IL-36γ induced CXCL1, CXCL2, and CXCL3 production. Epithelial and endothelial permeability, transendothelial leukocyte migration were increased in cells treated with IL-36α, IL-36β, or IL-36γ. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that IL-36α, IL-36β, and IL-36γ localized in superficial epithelium may act as a responder to microbial and nonmicrobial elements through TLR and subsequently produce CXC chemokines, playing an interplay between innate and adaptive immune response.

Abstract
Background Poor sleep has significant effects on health contributing to increased morbidity and mortality. The direct and indirect costs of sleep dysfunction total well in to the billions of dollars annually in the United States. Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) affects up to 16% of the US population and has been linked to poor sleep quality with up to three quarters of patients with CRS reporting poor sleep quality. There is a growing body of literature evaluating the relationship between sleep and CRS. In this review, we organize and present the current knowledge on the associations between sleep and CRS as well as identify areas for further investigation. Data sources A structured literature search from 1946 to 2016 was conducted in the English language using OVID MEDLINE database, PubMed, and EMBASE. Review methods Abstracts were reviewed for relevance and appropriate studies were included in the narrative review. Results Studies were analyzed and discussed as they pertained to the following categories of CRS and sleep: (1) subjective measures of sleep dysfunction, (2) objective measures of sleep dysfunction, and (3) outcomes on sleep quality following treatment of CRS. Articles on the pathophysiology of sleep dysfunction in CRS were separately reviewed. Conclusions An evolving body of research demonstrates that quality of sleep is compromised in the majority of patients with CRS. Following treatment of CRS, there is significant improvement in subjective sleep quality, but additional research investigating objective measures following treatment is still needed. Additionally, further investigation is required to better elucidate the underlying pathophysiology of the relationship between sleep dysfunction and CRS. Level of Evidence N/A.

Abstract
Significant links between allergic rhinitis and asthma have been reported, and the united airway disease hypothesis is supported by numerous findings in epidemiologic, physiologic, pathologic, and immunologic studies. The impact of allergic rhinitis on asthma has been established. On the other hand, the relationship between chronic rhinosinusitis and lung diseases has been under investigation. Chronic rhinosinusitis is a common disease, and the high prevalence of chronic rhinosinusitis in some kinds of lung diseases has been reported. Recent studies suggest that the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis has beneficial effects in the management of asthma. Here, we present an overview of the current research on the relationship between chronic rhinosinusitis and lower airway diseases including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cystic fibrosis, diffuse panbronchiolitis, primary ciliary dyskinesia, idiopathic bronchiectasis, and allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis.

Abstract
Allergic rhinitis is a chronic inflammatory disease orchestrated by Th2 lymphocytes. Src homology 2 domain-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase (SHP)-1 is known to be a negative regulator in the IL-4α/STAT-6 signaling pathway of the lung. However, the role of SHP-1 enzyme and its functional relationship with Th2 and Th1 cytokines are not known in the nasal airway. In this study, we aimed to study the nasal inflammation as a result of SHP-1 deficiency in viable motheaten (mev) mice and to investigate the molecular mechanisms involved. Cytology, histology, and expression of cytokines and chemokines were analyzed to define the nature of the nasal inflammation. Targeted gene depletion of Th1 (IFN-γ) and Th2 (IL-4 and IL-13) cytokines was used to identify the critical pathways involved. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) were studied to demonstrate the clearance mechanism of recruited inflammatory cells into the nasal airway. We showed here that mev mice had a spontaneous allergic rhinitis-like inflammation with eosinophilia, mucus metaplasia, up-regulation of Th2 cytokines (IL-4 and IL-13), chemokines (eotaxin), and MMPs. All of these inflammatory mediators were clearly counter-regulated by Th2 and Th1 cytokines. Deletion of IFN-γ gene induced a strong Th2-skewed inflammation with transepithelial migration of the inflammatory cells. These findings suggest that SHP-1 enzyme and Th2/Th1 paradigm may play a critical role in the maintenance of nasal immune homeostasis and in the regulation of allergic rhinitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) exhibit centrally mediated behavioral changes commonly referred to as "sickness behavior." Sleep alteration is a component of sickness behavior which is estimated to affect up to 70 million patients annually. Patients with CRS have poor sleep quality, and little is known about the underlying etiology and pathophysiology. This narrative review aims to further organize and present the current knowledge associating sleep and CRS. METHODS A literature search was conducted of the OVID MEDLINE database using key search words including: "chronic rhinosinusitis," "sleep," "sleep disorders," and "sleep dysfunction." Additional keywords "nasal obstruction," "nasal polyp," and "fatigue" were identified and used to further delineate relevant articles. RESULTS The articles that specifically addressed sleep and CRS were dissected and presented as follows: (1) chronic rhinosinusitis and sleep; (2) chronic rhinosinusitis and fatigue; (3) chronic rhinosinusitis, nasal obstruction, and sleep; and (4) pathophysiology of sleep in chronic rhinosinusitis (cytokines in both sleep and chronic rhinosinusitis and their association to the neuroimmune biology of chronic rhinosinusitis). CONCLUSION Patients with CRS have sleep dysfunction that is associated with their disease severity and overall quality of life. The etiology of sleep dysfunction in CRS is most likely multifactorial. Increasing evidence suggests sleep dysfunction in patients with CRS is partly due to the inflammatory disease process, and sleep physiology in patients with CRS may be actively regulated by the inflammatory component of the disease.
