Project description:Eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (ECRSwNP) is a refractory inflammatory disease driven by type 2 immunity, yet the mechanistic link between epithelial stress and immune activation remains elusive. Here, we identify a pathogenic expansion of KRT5⁺KRT15⁺ basal epithelial cells that undergo a metabolic switch to aerobic glycolysis, resulting in lactate overproduction and microenvironment acidification. This acidic niche activates the proton-sensing receptor GPR68 on infiltrating CD4⁺ T cells, triggering a Gq–IP1–IKK/ERK signaling cascade that promotes Th2 differentiation and cytokine release. Genetic ablation of GPR68 in CD4⁺ T cells or its pharmacological inhibition with a natural antagonist, 3-Bn-6-Bnid-DKP, ameliorated type 2 inflammation and pathology in vivo. Thus, we define a lactate-GPR68 axis that metabolically couples epithelial dysfunction to adaptive type 2 immunity in ECRSwNP

Project description:Chronic rhinosinusitis is classified into eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis (ECRS) and non-eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis (NECRS). ECRS is a refractory allergic disease involving a variety of immune and epithelial cells. S100A8 is a damage-associated molecular pattern that is closely related to allergic inflammation. However, the pathological implications of S100A8 in ECRS have not been clarified. We evaluated the role of S100A8 in the pathogenesis of ECRS. Gene expression profiles of nasal polyps obtained from patients with ECRS or NECRS were evaluated using RNA sequencing. S100A8 was identified as a significantly upregulated gene in nasal polyps associated with ECRS. Consistently, immunohistochemistry revealed that S100A8 stained intensely in nasal polyps from patients with ECRS. Human nasal epithelial cells expressed the receptor for advanced glycation end products and Toll-like receptor 4. Recombinant S100A8 protein induced interleukin-1β secretion in human nasal epithelial cells. Our data demonstrate that S100A8 induces production of interleukin-1β in the nasal epithelium, which may be involved in the pathogenesis of ECRS.

Project description:Asthmatic chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (aCRSwNP) is a common disruptive eosinophilic disease. Therefore, we sought to identify gene expression changes in nasosinus inflamed mucosa and adjacent polyp tissue from subjects with aCRSwNP.

Project description:Asthmatic chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (aCRSwNP) is a common disruptive eosinophilic disease. Therefore, we sought to identify gene expression changes in nasosinus inflamed mucosa and adjacent polyp tissue from subjects with aCRSwNP. Twelve asthmatic chronic rhinosinusitis (aCRS) subjects (11 with nasal polyps; aCRSwNP) provided inflamed nasosinus mucosa (11 samples) and adjacent polyp (10 samples) or a small mixed mucosa and polyp specimen (1 sample) (thus, 22 samples overall). Inflamed mucosa or polyp was from the middle meatus or anterior ethmoid cavity. As control samples, nasosinus tissue was collected from the inferior turbinate or uncinate process from normal or rhinitis subjects without nasal polyps (n=17); 4 had physician-diagnosed allergic rhinitis (AR), 2 had suspected AR, 1 had suspected vasomotor rhinitis, and 10 had no signs of nasosinus disease, allergy, or atopy. All 4 AR subjects chose to donate tissue outside of their known allergy season(s).

Project description:Comparative analysis of gene expression in murine sinonasal mucosa in wild-type and CC10-knockout littermates with allergic eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis. The data provide a comprehensive overview of genes expressed in the mouse sinonasal mucosa and show that the expression of several known and unidentified genes is modified by disruption of the CC10 gene. Total RNA isolated from sinonasal mucosae of 6- to 8-week-old mice, C57BL/6 strain, was used for this comparison. Three groups: wild-type control, wild-type with allergic eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis, and CC10-knockout with allergic eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis.

Project description:Patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) have abnormal immune responses triggered by a variety of infectious agents, airborne toxins and fungi. Respiratory epithelial cells serve as relay stations capable of amplifying or augmenting cues received from external stimuli to nearby immune cells located in the sinus mucosa. Previous studies have identified increases in complement components and complement gene expression in the mucosa of patients with atopic CRS with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). As part of a larger study, we used shotgun proteomics to quantify changes in mucus proteins between patients with and without nasal polyps.

Project description:Objective: We sought to obtain detailed information about transcriptional differences in epithelial cells and immune cell subsets present in polyps of aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps. Methods: After enrichment for various immune subsets by flow cytometric sorting of polyp-derived cells, we performed transcriptomic profiling by employing single-cell RNA sequencing of all patients. Results: Transcriptomic profiling revealed that epithelial and mast cells not only complement one another in terms of gene expression associated with the 15-lipoxygenase pathway, but also show a clear type 2 associated inflammatory phenotype as identified by the upregulation of POSTN, CCL26 and IL13 in patients with aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease.

Project description:Memory helper T cells provide long-lasting host defeMemory helper T cells provide long-lasting host defense against microbial pathogens, while distinct subpopulations of memory T cells drive chronic inflammatory diseases such as asthma. Asthma is a chronic allergic inflammatory disease with airway remodeling including fibrotic changes. The immunological mechanisms that induce airway fibrotic changes in allergic inflammation remain unknown. We found that Interleukin-33 (IL-33) enhanced Amphiregulin production by the IL-33 receptor, ST2hi memory T helper-2 (Th2) cells. Amphiregulin-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mediated signaling directly reprogramed eosinophils to an inflammatory state with enhanced production of Osteopontin, a key profibrotic immunomodulatory protein. IL-5-producing memory Th2 cells and Amphiregulin-producing memory Th2 cells appeared to cooperate to establish lung fibrosis. The analysis of polyps from patients with eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis revealed fibrosis with accumulation of Amphiregulin-producing CRTH2hiCD161hiCD45RO+CD4+ Th2 cells and Osteopontin-producing eosinophils. Thus, the IL-33-Amphiregulin-Osteopontin axis directs fibrotic responses in eosinophilic airway inflammation and is a potential target for the treatment of fibrosis induced by chronic allergic disorders. against microbial pathogens, while distinct subpopulations of memory T cells drive chronic inflammatory diseases such as asthma.

Project description:Chronic rhinosinusitis without polyps (CRSsNP) is typified by inflammation of the sinonasal epithelium and the development of fibrosis. The precise pathophysiology of this common condition remains elusive. Here we aim to investigate the transcriptome (RNA transcripts in the cell) of the component nasal epithelial and fibroblast cells in CRSsNP and health to identify if there are clusters of differentially expressed genes as possible novel CRS therapeutic targets.
