Cross-talk between TH2 and TH17 pathways in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps

Open access

Abstract

Background Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a heterogeneous disease with a spectrum of endotypes. T H 2- and T H 17-related cytokines are 2 central regulators involved in the inflammation associated with CRSwNP. Objective We sought to investigate the interregulation of T H 2 and T H 17 pathways in Chinese patients with CRSwNP. Methods Levels of key T H 2- and T H 17-related factors were measured in homogenates of polyp tissue obtained from patients with CRSwNP. The relationship of these factors and their expression in groups classified according to tissue IL-5 and IL-17 concentrations were analyzed. Cross-regulation of T H 2 and T H 17 cytokines and the effects of dexamethasone treatment were studied in dispersed nasal polyp cells. Associations between T H 2- and T H 17 related factors and comorbid atopic status and asthma, disease recurrence, and edema scores were also explored. Results Four CRSwNP groups were classified based on expression or nonexpression of mutually exclusive T H 2- and T H 17-related factors. The T H 2 cytokines IL-4 and IL-13 inhibited expression of T H 17-related factors, whereas the T H 17 cytokines IL-17 and TGF-β1 enhanced expression of T H 2-related factors. Dexamethasone treatment inhibited both the T H 2 and T H 17 pathways. A patient's atopic status was related to their T H 2 immune response. Edema scores were positively correlated with the T H 2 pathway and negatively correlated with the T H 17 pathway. Conclusion The T H 2 and T H 17 pathways are mutually exclusive and regulate each other, favoring the development of a T H 2 immune response in Chinese patients with CRSwNP.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
