Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the serum vitamin D level in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps and its correlation with the disease severity. SETTING Hospital of Zhejiang University. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective analysis of collected data. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with or without nasal polyps who underwent endoscopic sinus surgery were recruited. Demographic information including age, gender, body mass index, smoke history, atopic status and asthma was collected. Disease severity was measured by the Lund-Mackay CT score and Sino-Nasal Outcome Test-22 score. Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay preoperatively. RESULTS Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 levels were significantly lower in patients with nasal polyps (CRSwNP, 38.2 ± 9.1 nmol/L; CRSsNP, 48.94 ± 12.1 nmol/L; control, 54.1 ± 17.1 nmol/L. p < 0.001), and the levels were significantly associated with the preoperative Sino-Nasal Outcome Test-22 score (p = 0.013), but not with the Lund-Mackay score (p = 0.126). Furthermore, serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 levels were associated with the subjective improvement six months postoperatively (p < 0.001), CONCLUSION: Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 levels are lower in Chinese CRSwNP patients. These 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 levels are associated with SNOT-22 score. Preoperative 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 level may impact on the symptom improvement after surgery.

Lee SA, Yang HW, Um JY, Shin JM, Park IH, Lee HM. Vitamin D attenuates myofibroblast differentiation and extracellular matrix accumulation in nasal polyp-derived fibroblasts through smad2/3 signaling pathway. Sci Rep 2017; 7:7299. [PMID: 28779150 PMCID: PMC5544725 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-07561-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2016] [Accepted: 06/29/2017] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
To investigate the potential role of vitamin D (1,25(OH)2D3) in preventing the development of nasal polyps, we examined the effect of vitamin D on myofibroblast differentiation and extracellular matrix (ECM) production in TGF-β1-induced nasal polyp-derived fibroblasts (NPDFs) and elucidated the mechanisms underlying its inhibitory effect. 1,25(OH)2D3 significantly reduced expression levels of α-SMA, a myofibroblast marker, and fibronectin, a representative ECM component, in a dose-dependent manner in TGF-β1-induced NPDFs. 1,25(OH)2D3 suppressed activated Smad2/3 in time-course. Up-regulation of α-SMA, fibronectin and phosphorylation of Smad2/3 by TGF-β1 was unaffected by 1,25(OH)2D3 in NPDFs after vitamin D receptor-specific siRNA transfection. We confirmed that the Smad2/3-specific inhibitor SIS3 inactivated Smad2/3 and reduced α-SMA and fibronectin expression. Furthermore, acetylation of histone H3 was compromised by 1,25(OH)2D3, leading to inhibition of collagen 1A1, collagen 1A2 and α-SMA gene expression. Treatment with 1,25(OH)2D3 also significantly suppressed TGF-β1-enhanced contractility and motility in a contraction assay and Transwell migration assay. Finally, 1,25(OH)2D3 had a similar effect in ex vivo organ cultures of nasal polyps. Taken together, our results suggest that 1,25(OH)2D3 might be an effective therapy for nasal polyps by reducing myofibroblast differentiation and ECM production mediated by Smad2/3-dependent TGF-β1 signaling pathways in NPDFs.
