Expression and distribution of aquaporin-2 in nasal polyps]

OBJECTIVE: To study the distribution and expression of aquaporion-2 (water channel protein; AQP-2) in nasal polyps and to evaluate the role of AQP-2 in the formation of nasal polyps. METHODS: Eleven samples of normal inferior turbinates and forty-six samples of nasal polyps were used. In the group of nasal polyps, there were ten cases of type II phase 1, twelve type II phase 2, ten type II phase 3 and fourteen type III. The expression of AQP-2 in both groups was studied with immunohistochemical technique. RESULTS: 1. Both the number of AQP-2 positive cells and the area density in the epithelial cell layer from nasal polyps were higher than those from inferior turbinates (P < 0.01, P < 0.05 respectively); In the group of nasal polyps, the area density from type III, type II phase 2 and type II phase 3 was significantly higher than that from type II phase 1 (P < 0.05); 2. Both the number of AQP-2 positive cells and the area density in the subepithelial tissue from type III, type II phase 2 and type II phase 3 nasal polyps were higher than those from type II phase 1 nasal polyps and inferior turbinates(P < 0.05), whereas the difference between the latter two was not significant(P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: The high expression of AQP-2 protein in nasal polyps may contribute to the genesis and development of nasal polyps.     

Expression and distribution of aquaporin-1 in nasal polyps: does it have any significance in edema formation?

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of Aquaporin 1 (AQP1) and AQP4 in polyp tissue. METHODS: Nasal polyps were obtained from 34 patients with nasal polyposis during endoscopic sinus surgery. Bullous middle turbinates with normal-appearing mucosa of 10 patients were used as controls. Expression of AQP1 and AQP4 water channels were determined by immunohistochemical methods. RESULTS: AQP1 has been found to be expressed in fibroblasts located in polyp tissue, especially in the subepithelial area, periphery of seromucous glands, and endothelial cells of venules. CONCLUSION: We have established a high expression of AQP1 water channels in nasal polyp tissue and have suggested two mechanisms to explain this finding. Increased AQP1 expression may be a cause or a consequence of edema formation. Thus, additional studies are needed to elucidate the true mechanism underlying this relationship.     

Fas及Bcl-2在鼻息肉组织中的表达及意义

目的：探讨Fas和Bcl 2在鼻息肉组织中的表达及与鼻息肉发病的关系。方法：应用S P免疫组化法检测36例鼻息肉组织及19例下鼻甲组织中Fas和Bcl 2的表达情况。结果： （1）Fas在鼻息肉上皮及腺上皮的表达弱于对照组（P＜0.05）;（2）Bcl 2在鼻息肉上皮及腺上皮的表达强于对照组（P＜0.05）;（3）鼻息肉上皮细胞中Fas、Bcl 2蛋白的表达无相关性（P＞0.05）。结论：（1）Fas和 Bcl 2在鼻息肉发生发展中起重要作用;（2）在NP上皮细胞中, Fas和Bcl 2无相关性,因此这两种凋亡基因在NP的形成过程中各起独立作用,协调抑制NP上皮细胞的凋亡。     

Effect of proinflammatory cytokines on human leucocyte antigen expression of epithelial cells of nasal polyps]

OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of proinflammatory cytokines on the expression of human leucocyte antigen(HLA-DR) in epithelial cell of nasal polyps. METHODS: The samples were from 23 patients with nasal polyps and 11 cases of normal inferior turbinates. The samples were fixed, paraffin-embeded and sectioned for observing distribution of HLA-DR positive cells. Nasal epithelial cells were obtained after enzymatic digestion and cell culture was performed for observing influences of interleukin (IL)-1 beta and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-alpha) to expression of HLA-DR of epithelial cells and the effect of dexamethasone(10(-5) mol/L). RESULTS: The HLA-DR expression in epithelium was significantly stronger in nasal polyps than that in inferior turbinates. The expression of HLA-DR in cultured cells under stimulation of proinflammatory cytokines was increased compared with controls, but the expression was more intense in nasal polyps than that in inferior turbinates. Increased HLA-DR expression under stimulation of cytokines was reduced significantly by dexamethasone. CONCLUSION: The epithelium is in a key position to participate in inflammatory and immunologic events in the airways. Epithelial cells potentially contribute to airway inflammation by antigen presentation and the production of proinflammatory cytokines.

Expression, localization, and significance of vascular permeability/vascular endothelial growth factor in nasal polyps

BACKGROUND: The exact etiologic mechanisms leading to the formation of nasal polyps have remained largely obscure. A key phenomenon of this specific type of chronic inflammatory disease in nasal respiratory mucosa is remarkable edema. Vascular permeability/vascular endothelial growth factor (VPF/VEGF) plays an important role in inducing angiogenesis and modulating capillary permeability. OBJECTIVE: To study the expression and localization of VPF/ VEGF as a putative key factor in nasal polyp development. METHODS: Specimens of nasal polyps (n = 12) were harvested during endonasal sinus surgery in patients with polypous chronic rhinosinusitis. Specimens of healthy nasal respiratory mucosa (n = 12) served as controls and were obtained from inferior turbinates of patients undergoing surgery for nasal obstruction without signs and symptoms of inflammatory disease. Frozen sections were immunohistochemically stained for VPF/VEGF and quantitatively analyzed, using computer-based image analysis. RESULTS: The expression of VPF/VEGF in specimens of nasal polyps was significantly stronger than in specimens of healthy nasal mucosa of controls. VPF/VEGF in polypous tissue was mainly localized in vascular endothelial cells, in basal membranes and perivascular spaces, and in epithelial cells. CONCLUSION: The markedly increased expression in nasal polyps as opposed to healthy nasal mucosa suggests that VPF/VEGF may play a significant role in both the formation of nasal polyps and in the induction of heavy tissue edema. This finding is discussed with respect to the differential expression of cyclooxygenase (COX) isoenzymes-1 and -2 (COX-1 and COX-2) in nasal polyps was significantly stronger than in specimens of healthy nasal mucosa of controls. VPF/VEGF in polypous tissue was mainly localized in vascular endothelial cells, in basal membranes and perivascular spaces, and in epithelial cells. Conclusion: The markedly increased expression in nasal polyps as opposed to healthy nasal mucosa suggests that VPF/VEGF may play a significant role in both the formation of nasal polyps and in the induction of heavy tissue edema. This finding is discussed with respect to the differential expression of cyclooxygenase (COX) isoenzymes-1 and -2 (COX-1 and COX-2) in nasal polyps.     

两种细胞外基质糖蛋白在鼻息肉中的表达

OBJECTIVE: To explore the role of tenascin (TN) and fibronectin (FN) in the pathophysiology of nasal polyp. METHODS: The expression of TN and FN in nasal polyps from 34 patients and in inferior turbinates from 20 patients with deviation of nasal septum was studied with immunohistochemical method. In patients with nasal polyps, the relations between expression and histopathologic characteristics, eosinophilias (EOS) infiltration, clinical staging and the size of nasal polyps were analyzed. RESULTS: (1) The gray score of TN and FN expression was 163.10 +/- 10.54 and 163.24 +/- 11.52 in nasal polyps respectively, whereas it was 175.49 +/- 9.29 and 173.93 +/- 7.92 in inferior turbinates respectively. The difference between two groups was significant(P < 0.01); (2) The expression of TN and FN in edematous type was significantly stronger than that in cystic fibrous and glandular type (P < 0.05); (3) The association between FN expression and EOS infiltration was significant(r = -0.60, P < 0.01); (4) The expression of TN and FN did not correlate with clinical staging and size(P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: Abnormal ECM may contribute to proliferation of epithelium, accumulation of EOS and edema formation, as a result, to enhance the development of nasal polyps.

Expression of vascular endothelial growth factor and transforming growth factor-beta 1 in nasal polyps]

OBJECTIVE: To study the expression and significance of vascular endothelial growth factor/vascular permeability factor (VEGF/VPF) and transforming growth factor-beta 1(TGF-beta 1) in nasal polyps. METHODS: Expression of VEGF/VPF and TGF-beta 1 in nasal polyps from 34 patients and middle turbinates from 30 patients with deviation of nasal septum was prospectively studied with immunohistochemistry. Tissue sections were observed under optical microscope. RESULTS: (1) The VEGF/VPF positivity in vascular endothelium and in glandular cell was significantly higher in nasal polyps than in middle turbinates (P < 0.01 and P < 0.05, respectively); (2) The TGF-beta 1 positivity in extracellular matrix and in cells in the stroma was significantly higher in nasal polyps than in middle turbinates(P < 0.005); (3) The distribution and shape of TGF-beta 1 expressing cells in nasal polyps were similar to that of eosinophil, their positivities were significantly correlative; (4) The positivity of VEGF/VPF and TGF-beta 1 did not correlate with clinical type in nasal polyps (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: (1) The VEGF/VPF may play a key role in the formation of heavy edema of nasal polyps; (2) The TGF-beta 1 may contribute to some of the pathologic changes observed in nasal polyps, such as thickening of the epithelial basement membrane and stromal fibrosis; (3) Eosinophils in nasal polyps represent a major source of TGF-beta 1.
