Sinus Mast Cell Density Suggests a Unique Phenotype in Toxin Exposure-Associated Chronic Rhinosinusitis

ABSTRACT: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is more prevalent and severe in military Veterans with deployment-related environmental toxin exposures. The mechanisms driving this aggressive phenotype are poorly understood, and the role of mast cells remains understudied. We sought to characterize the immunophenotype of toxin-associated CRS and develop a preclinical model to investigate disease persistence. We identified a significant and selective expansion of sinus mast cells in Veterans with deployment-related exposures compared to unexposed controls, an effect most prominent in patients without nasal polyps. RNA sequencing of sinus tissue from exposed patients confirmed the upregulation of mast cell activation pathways. We also developed a murine model in which co-exposure to burn pit constituents (BPC) and an aeroallergen synergistically exacerbated sinonasal inflammation. Strikingly, mast cell accumulation persisted and continued to increase for weeks after toxin exposure ceased, a phenomenon not observed in mice challenged with allergen alone. Our findings reveal a novel mast cell-driven phenotype in toxin exposure-associated CRS. The persistent accumulation of mast cells in our preclinical model provides a potential mechanism for the chronicity of sinonasal symptoms following xenobiotic exposures, identifying mast cells as a potential therapeutic target for this emerging CRS phenotype.

STAT6 Blockade Abrogates Aspergillus-Induced Eosinophilic Chronic Rhinosinusitis and Asthma, a Model of Unified Airway Disease

Project description:Unified airway disease, including concurrent asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), is a common, but poorly understood disorder with no curative treatment options. To establish a murine model of chronic unified eosinophilic airway inflammation, mice were challenged with Aspergillus niger, and sinonasal mucosa and lung tissue were evaluated by immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry and gene expression. Inhalation of A niger conidia resulted in a Th2-biased lung and sinus inflammation that typifies allergic asthma and CRS. Gene network and pathway analysis correlated with human disease with upregulation of the JAK-STAT and helper T cell pathways, but also less expected pathways governing the spliceosome, osteoclast differentiation, and coagulation pathways. Utilizing a specific inhibitor and gene-deficient mice, we demonstrate that STAT6 is required for mycosis induced sinus inflammation. These findings confirm the relevance of this new model and portend future studies that further extend our understanding of the immunopathologic basis of airway mycosis and unified airway disease.

Sinus Microbiome Plays a Primary Role in Rhinosinusitis

Project description:Persistent mucosal inflammation and microbial infection are characteristic of Chronic Rhinosinusitis (CRS). Though mucosal microbiota dysbiosis is a characteristic feature of other chronic inflammatory diseases, the relationship between sinus microbiota composition and CRS is unknown. Here we demonstrate, using comparative microbiome profiling of a cohort of CRS patients and healthy subjects, that the sinus microbiota of CRS patients exhibit significantly reduced bacterial diversity. Characteristic of this community collapse is the depletion of multiple, phylogenetically distinct, Lactic Acid Bacteria and the concomitant increase in relative abundance of a single species, Corynebacterium tuberculostearicum. Recapitulating the conditions observed in our human cohort in a murine model confirmed the pathogenic potential of C. tuberculostearicum and the critical necessity for a replete mucosal microbiota to protect against this species. Moreover, we provide evidence that Lactobacillus sakei, identified from our comparative microbiome analyses as a potentially protective species, affords defense against C. tuberculostearicum sinus infection, even in the context of a depleted sinus bacterial community. These studies demonstrate that sinus mucosal health is highly dependent on the composition of the resident microbiota, and identifies a new sino-pathogen and a strong bacterial candidate for therapeutic intervention. A total of 14 samples were profiled for microbiome composition: 7 from non-sinusitis patients, and 7 from patients with clinically diagnosed chronic sinusitis.

Transcription profiling of human sinus mucosa from cystic fibrosis, chronic rhinosinusitis patients and controls

Project description:Our data demonstrates an increased number of submucosal glands in the sinus mucosa of pediatric patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). Additionally, data in the literature indicates differentially altered expression of innate markers of immunity and of inflammatory mediators in the sinus mucosa of adult patients with cystic fibrosis, non-CF controls, and controls. Experiment Overall Design: Analyses will focus on inflammatory/immune response genes to identify genes in CRS or CF patients that are involved in pathways that impact on pathogenesis in these diseases. Analysis will also focus on genes in developmental pathways to identify mediators implicated in the development of submucosal glandular hyperplasia in pediatric patients with CRS.

Ethmoïd tumors vs normal mucosa samples

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of ethmoïd tumors samples comparing normal samples from the controlateral sinus. RNA were extracted from biopsies. Sinonasal adenocarcinomas are uncommon tumors developping in ethmoid sinus after wood dust exposure. Although the etiology of these tumors is well defined very little is known regarding the molecular basis of these tumors. In an attempt to identify genes involved in this disease we proceed to a gene expression profiling using cancer-dedicated microarrays, on matched samples of nine sinonasal adenocarcinomas and non-tumoral sinusal tissue. Among the genes with significant differential expression we selected: LGALS4, ACS5, CLU, BAX, PDGFRa, SRI and CCT5 for further exploration by quantitative real-time reverse-transcription-PCR on a larger set of tumors and confirmed the microarray data. Protein expression alterations were shown for LGALS4, ACS5, and CLU by immunohistochemistry. Our results suggest that two genes might be involved in the pathogenesis of these tumors: LGALS4 highly up-regulated, particularly in the most differentiated tumors, and CLU, whose expression was lost. After further evaluation these genes could be used as markers for a better characterization of these tumors and will potentially help to an earlier detection of cancer in woodworkers, who have high risk of developing sinonasal adenocarcinomas. Two-condition experiment tumor samples from frozen section vs normal samples. There were two arrays by sample when it was possible.

Single cell RNA sequencing analyses of cells from human sinonasal tissue

Project description:Single cell RNA sequencing analyses of human sinonasal tissue samples of chronic rhinosinusitus patients clustered the sinus cell into 13 types. Two cell types (monocyte/Macrophage and dendritic cells) demonstrated over-lapping expression of MPEG1, BATF3, IRF4, CD86, and HLA-DRA.

MicroRNA expression in chronic rhinosinusitis

Project description:Increasing evidence suggests that CRS is a heterogeneous group of sinus disorders involving overlapping but distinct disease entities.The factors leading to different CRS phenotypes remain enigmatic. The role of miRNAs in the regulation of immunological and inflammatory processes is beginning to emerge.Thus, we examined microRNAs expression profiles in eosinophilic CRSwNP adn CRSsNP. Compared with controls, 31 differentially expressed miRNAs (30 downregulated and 1 upregulated miRNAs) in eosinophilic CRSwNP and 4 differentially expressed miRNAs (2 downregulated and 2 upregulated miRNAs) in CRSsNP were indentified. Real time RT-PCR was subsequently performed to verify the miRNA microarray result. Examination of miRNAs expression in eosinophilic CRSwNP and CRSsNP
