IL-12 receptor beta2 and CD30 expression in paranasal sinus mucosa of patients with chronic sinusitis.

چکیده
The aetiology of chronic sinusitis is still poorly understood. The expression of T-helper 1 (Th1) and T-helper 2 (Th2) cell markers, interleukin (IL)-12 receptor beta2 subunit (IL-12Rbeta2) messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) and CD30, respectively, were investigated in the paranasal sinus mucosa of patients with chronic sinusitis in an attempt to elucidate the involvement of Th1 and Th2 cells in this disease. Anterior ethmoidal mucosae were surgically obtained from two groups of patients with chronic sinusitis: those who had allergic rhinitis (allergic group, n=11) and those without allergy (nonallergic group, n=11). IL-12Rbeta2 mRNA was quantified by means of the reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, and CD30-positive cells were examined immunohistochemically. Both IL-12Rbeta2 mRNA and CD30 were expressed in the sinus mucosa of the allergic and nonallergic groups. The proportion of mononuclear cells which were CD30-positive in the sinus mucosa was significantly greater in the allergic than in the nonallergic group. The expression levels of IL-12Rbeta2 mRNA were virtually equivalent in both groups. These results suggest a T-helper 2-dominated mucosal reaction in the allergic compared to the nonallergic group, and indicate T-helper 1 activity in the sinus mucosa of both groups. The ubiquity of T-helper 1 cells suggests that they play a role in maintaining local mucosal defences against foreign antigens, which continually enter the upper respiratory tract.

This study was conducted to investigate the role of cell immunity in adults suffering from chronic sinusitis who referred to Rasoul-e-Akram Hospital for endoscopic sinus surgery. CD3, CD4, CD8 & CD4/CD8 ratio in sinus mucosa of serum IgE level were all measured in the patients. The three studied groups were: chronic sinusitis with high serum IgE(28 cases), chronic sinusitis with nor...

It is not fully understood why humans possess paranasal sinuses and for many years there has been speculation as to their physiological significance. Much the same uncertainty holds true for the pathophysiology of chronic paranasal sinusitis, a disease which represents a major therapeutic challenge despite recent medical and surgical progress. 3 There are probably several distinct subtypes of c...

Allergic fungal sinusitis (AFS) has been clinicopathologically defined as a noninvasive form of fungal infection. This study was designed to distinguish AFS among patients with chronic sinusitis who failed to respond to repeated courses of antibiotics and were therefore candidates for functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) in Sari. Allergic mucin and sinus lavage was collected during F...

BACKGROUND Eosinophilic chronic frontal sinusitis is difficult to treat compared with non-eosinophilic sinusitis because of recurring inflammation and polyp formation in the frontal recess after the post-operative follow-up period. Studying inflammatory mediators in the frontal recess of eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis (ECRS) patients and non-eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis (non-ECRS) p...
