Abstract/OtherAbstract:
OBJECTIVES: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) with eosinophilic infiltration is a type of intractable rhinosinusitis often associated with asthma. The oxidants are well known to induce aggravate asthma. Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), a cytoprotective enzyme against oxidant, has been extensively studied in airway diseases. However, no study that observed HO-1 in both epithelial and subepithelial tissues of CRS has been reported. METHODS: Part of each specimen derived from the nasal polyps of CRS with and without eosinophilic infiltration was promptly fixed for hematoxylin-eosin staining and immunohistochemical analysis for HO-1 and macrophages. RESULTS: We found that the expression of HO-1 in the epithelial layers of CRS without eosinophilic infiltration was significantly enhanced as compared with that of CRS with eosinophilic infiltration. On the other hand, the number of macrophages with HO-1 positive reactions was significantly greater in CRS with eosinophilic infiltration compared with CRS without eosinophilic infiltration. CONCLUSIONS: Our study suggests that both a reduction of HO-1 expression in epithelial cells and an increase of infiltration of macrophages positive for HO-1 are related to the epithelial damage of CRS with eosinophilic infiltration.
