Convergence of two major pathophysiologic mechanisms in nasal polyposis: immune response to Staphylococcus aureus and airway remodeling
نویسندگان
چکیده
This review is addressed two pathophysiologic mechanisms implicated in the pathogenesis of nasal polyposis: the unique remodeling process found in nasal polyp tissue and the immune response of patients with nasal polyposis to Staphylococcus aureus. These two theories converge to the same direction in different aspects, including decreased extracellular matrix production, impaired T regulation and favoring of a Th2 immune response.In patients with nasal polyposis, an exaggerated immune response to Staphylococcus aureus may aggravate the airway remodeling process.

Nasal polyposis is a chronic disease of the upper airways which adversely affects the quality of life of patients. Its pathophysiology is still unclear. Recently, several studies have shown different inflammatory pathways which relate to both innate and adaptive immune responses. Moreover, different phenotypes may exist in different ethnic groups of patients. This article will review recent dat...

Introduction: One of the main theories in development of sinonasal polyposis involves the effect of Staphylococcus aureus super antigens and microbial biofilm. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of topical vancomycin on Staphylococcus aureus removal from sinus mucosa following surgery. Methods: In this randomized triple-blind clinical trial, 35 patients, who underwent sinus...

UNLABELLED The superantigenic properties of Staphylococcus aureus have been implicated in increasing the inflammatory process in airway diseases. Local formation of IgE antibodies against staphylococcal enterotoxins by secondary lymphoid tissue in nasal polyps has been demonstrated. Staphylococcus aureus is known to colonize the nasal mucosa, and has been found invading the nasal submucosa and ...

BACKGROUND Superantigens and eicosanoids are important amplifiers and regulators of inflammation in airway diseases. We therefore studied the possible influence of Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin B (SEB) on the cyclooxygenase (COX) pathway and basic functions of airway structural cells. METHODS Fibroblasts were isolated from nasal inferior turbinate tissue and cultured in the presence of di...

Background: Staphylococcus aureus secretes numerous superantigenes which trigger the inflammatory mechanisms of sinus mucosa and cause chronic rhino-sinusitis. This study was designed to evaluate the role of staphylococcus aureus superantigens in polyp tissues of patients with chronic rhino-sinusitis in comparison with a control group.Methods: Polyp tissue samples of 28 patients and mucosal spe...
