| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We examined the mechanism of tissue remodeling in the pathogenesis of eosinophilic chronic rhonosinusitis. Coagulation factors such as thrombin and FXa stimulate the secretion of profibrotic cytokines and MUC5AC mucin from nasal epithelial cells or fibroblasts. Eosinophil-epithelial cell and eosinophil-fibroblast interactions also stimulate the secretion of cytokines and MUC5AC mucin. EGF receptor inhibitor AG1478 significantly inhibited these secretion of cytiokines and MUC5AC mucin induced by thrombin and by eosinophil-epithelial cell or eosinophil-fibroblast interactions, and EGFR transactivation plays a crucial role. Intraperitoneal injection or intranasal instillation of EGFR inhibitor AG1478 significantly inhibited LPS-induced or antigen-induced goblet cell metaplasia, mucus production and eosinophil/neutrophil infiltration in rat nasal epithelium. Intranasal instillation of EGFR inhibitor may be a new therapeutic approach for the treatment of eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis.
