Abstract
Identification of the association between tissue biomarkers, their surrogates in blood and clinical features, could provide new diagnostic tools and facilitate adequate choices of therapeutic interventions for selected patients suffering from CRS. The aim of present study was the assessment of macrophages in the polyp tissue and monocytes in the peripheral blood in the course of CRSwNP, and their functional immunophenotype. We analyzed 31 patients with CRSwNP. Nasal mucosa tissue was obtained via functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS). The control group included 10 patients with deviated nasal septum (DNS). Fluorochrome stained cells were proceed to acquisition using FACS Canto flow cytometer, and the results were analyzed using the software FACS Diva. In our study, we observed a significantly higher level of CD80, CD274, CD273 and TLR1 in nasal polyps compared to blood samples from patients with CRSwNP. This finding may suggest the importance of the PD-1 pathway as a therapeutic target in CRS and an important role for TLR1 in nasal polyp formation and maintenance. Our results may provide some insight into potential future targets of recurrent nasal polyp treatment and contribute to a better understanding of the inflammatory process in Chronic Rhinosinusitis.
