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.

activates NRLP3-dependent IL-1β secretion from human conjunctival goblet cells using α toxin and toll-like receptors 2 and 1.

We used cultured human conjunctival goblet cells to determine (i) whether the toxigenic induced activation of the epithelial goblet cells requires two signals to activate the NLRP3 inflammasome, (ii) if one signal is mediated by TLR1, TLR2, or TLR6, and (iii) if the toxin α toxin is another signal for the activation of the inflammasome and secretion of mature IL-1β. Cultured cells were incubated with siRNA to knock down the different TLRs. After stimulation with toxigenic RN6390, pro-IL-1β synthesis, caspase-1 activity, and mature IL-1β secretion were measured.

The development of COVID-19 vaccines is critical in controlling global health issues under the COVID-19 pandemic. The subunit vaccines are the safest and most widely used vaccine platform and highly effective against a multitude of infectious diseases. An adjuvant is essential for subunit vaccines to enhance the magnitude and durability of immune responses.

The epithelial cell-derived cytokine milieu has been discussed as a "master switch" in the development of allergic disease. To understand the role of innate immune response in nasal epithelial cells during allergic inflammation, we created and established a fast and minimally invasive method to isolate and culture human nasal epithelial cells from clinically and immunologically well characterized patients. Human nasal epithelial cells from non-atopic volunteers and from allergic rhinitis patients were compared in respect to their growth, barrier integrity, pattern recognition, receptor expression, and immune responses to allergens and an array of pathogen-associated molecular patterns and inflammasome activators.

Fungal species in the genus Aspergillus are environmental saprophytes that can act as opportunistic pathogens of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses in humans, cats and other species. Upper respiratory tract aspergillosis (URTA) presents as non-invasive and invasive forms with the latter occurring almost exclusively in immunocompromised hosts. However, in domestic cats, invasive URTA affects apparently immunocompetent patients.
