Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is defined as persistent inflammation of the nasal and paranasal cavity mucosa lasting ³3 months. In the present study, we examined the level of cytokine and chemokine release from the nasal polyp fibroblasts and its effect on IL-17A in order to clarify the functional role of fibroblasts in chronic inflammatory responses in the upper airway. Even without inflammatory stimulation, the secretions of MCP-1 were 33.3-fold and 22.2-fold higher in the eosinophilic group and non-eosinophilic group, respectively, compared to the control group. There was a marked release of IL-6 from nasal polyp fibroblasts of the eosinophilic group, which was significantly greater than those of the control and non-eosinophilic groups. However, there was no difference in IL-6 secretion between the control and non-eosinophilic groups. Thus, the cytokines and chemokines released from the nasal polyp fibroblasts may be related to local airway inflammation.
