cyclin-d1 and Nasal-Polyps

Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a chronic sinonasal inflammatory disease characterized histologically by hyperplastic nasal epithelium and epithelial cells proliferation. Cysteine-rich angiogenic inducer 61 (CYR61) acts as a positive regulator of cell cycle process. Cyclin D1 (CCND1) and c-Myc play key roles in the processes of cell cycle and cell growth. The purpose of our research was to explore the expression and roles of CYR61, CCND1 and c-Myc in CRSwNP.. FeaturePlot and vlnPlot functions embedded in the seurat package (version 4.1.1) of R software (version 4.2.0) were applied to explore the cellular distribution of CYR61, CCND1 and c-Myc in the single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) dataset of nasal tissue samples. CYR61, CCND1 and c-Myc immunolabeling and mRNA levels in nasal tissue samples were assessed by immunohistochemistry and real-time PCR. Co-localization of CYR61, CCND1 and c-Myc with basal epithelial cell marker P63 was assayed using double-label immunofluorescence staining. Furthermore, we collected and cultured human nasal epithelial cells (HNEC) to assess the regulation and role of CYR61 in vitro study.. CYR61, CCND1 and c-Myc were primarily expressed by nasal epithelial cells. Significant upregulation of CYR61, CCND1 and c-Myc positive cells and increased levels of CYR61, CCND1 and c-Myc mRNA were found in nasal polyps in comparison to control samples. Of note, CYR61 mRNA and protein levels were altered by SEB, LPS, IFN-γ, IL-13, IL-17A and TGF-β1 in HNEC. In addition, CYR61 intervention could increase CCND1 and c-Myc mRNA and protein levels to promote HNEC proliferation, and siRNA against ITGA2 (si-ITGA2) could reverse CYR61 induced upregulation of CCND1 and c-Myc mRNA and protein levels in HNEC and cell proliferation of HNEC.. CYR61, CCND1 and c-Myc were primarily expressed by epithelial cells in nasal mucosa. CYR61, CCND1 and c-Myc expression levels were increased in CRSwNP compared with controls. CYR61 could interact with ITGA2 to enhance HNEC proliferation via upregulating CCND1 and c-Myc levels in the HNEC, leading to hyperplastic nasal epithelium in CRSwNP.

Sinonasal inverted papilloma (IP) is a rare and benign epithelial tumor in the sinonasal tract. Recent study suggested the potential role of chronic inflammation in the pathogenesis of IP. This study aims to compare the inflammatory pattern, the capacity of epithelial cell proliferation and. Sixteen patients with unilateral IP and contralateral nasal polyps (NP) were identified through a retrospective chart review. The neutrophil and eosinophil infiltration in IP and NP were assessed by immunostaining for neutrophil elastase and major basic protein (MBP). Immunohistochemistry was also used to assess the expression of FoxM1, Ki67 and cyclin D1 in IP tissue and contralateral NP. Sanger sequencing was used to evaluate the. The neutrophil count in IP was significantly higher than contralateral NP and 68.8% patients presented with neutrophilic inflammation, whereas only 37.5% contralateral NP tissue showed neutrophilic inflammation. The percentage of positive FoxM1-staining cells was significantly increased in IP, and positively correlated with the percentage of cells with positive staining for cyclin D1 and ki67 as well as neutrophil counts.. Our study demonstrated distinct inflammatory pattern between IP and contralateral NP and implied the oncogenic role of neutrophils in the pathogenesis of IP.

To better understand the pathogenesis of nasal polyps (NPs) and sinonasal inverted papillomas (SIPs), we aimed to establish cell lines from fresh tissues of NPs and SIPs and characterize them. Primary cell cultures were obtained from two NP tissues (NP2 and NP3) and one SIP tissue (IP4). All the cells were polygonal in shape, expressed cytokeratin 14, and had normal diploid chromosome status. HPV58 DNA was detected in NP3. To obtain immortal primary cells, NP2 and IP4 cells were transduced with a combination of mutant CDK4, cyclinD1 and TERT. These cells were thereafter named NP2/K4DT and IP4/K4DT, respectively. HPV58-positive NP3 cells were transduced with TERT alone, the resulting cells named NP3/T. Phenotypic and genotypic identity of original tissues and derived cells was investigated. All the cell cultures with transgenes were confirmed to be derived from their parental cells and primary tumor tissues by analysis of short tandem repeats (STR) and maintained in vitro growth, genetic profiles and gene expression characteristics of the primary cells. These virtually immortalized cells, as well as the primary cells, have potential as in vitro models for studying the pathogenesis of NPs and SIPs and for preclinical study to develop new therapeutic agents.

Epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) is associated with the pathophysiology of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyp (CRSwNP). Wnt signaling is causative for EMT, whereas the mechanism in CRSwNP is not fully understood.. We sought to evaluate the role of Wnt signaling in EMT of CRSwNP using a murine nasal polyp (NP) model and human tissues.. Inflammatory markers and EMT-related molecules were evaluated in NP models using adenomatosis polyposis coli (Apc). Apc. Wnt signaling may contribute to the pathogenesis of NPs through EMT. Therefore, inhibition of Wnt signaling may be a potential therapeutic strategy for patients with CRSwNP.

The pathogenesis of human chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) remains controversial. Recent evidence has suggested that caveolin-1 (Cav-1) is a 22 kDa scaffolding protein and plays a pivotal role in host defense against infections and tumour suppression by reducing production of cyclin D1 and endothelial nitric oxide-synthase (eNOS). However, little is known about their roles in CRS. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the expression and role of Cav-1 in CRS. Cav-1 protein expression were investigated by immunohistochemistry method and mRNA expression of Cav-1, cyclin D1 and eNOS were assessed by real-time polymerase chain reaction in CRS and control subjects. Moreover, the effects of various stimulators with different concentrations and time on Cav-1 were evaluated on nasal explant culture. The results showed that weaker expression of Cav-1 protein and mRNA were observed in CRS, especially in CRS with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), stronger mRNA expression of cyclin D1 and eNOS were observed in CRS and Cav-1 expression was negatively related to cyclin D1 and eNOS expression, respectively. Cav-1 mRNA was augmented by IFN-γ, but supressed by IL-4 and IL-1β. In conclusion, the expression of Cav-1 was downregulated in CRS and the role of Cav-1 was impaired in CRS, especially in CRSwNP, leading to the attenuation of inhibition effect on cyclin D1 and eNOS and resulted in the overexpression of cyclin D1 and eNOS. IFN-γ may be essential for Cav-1 gene expression.
