Expression of heme oxygenase-1 in nasal polyps and regulation by glucocorticoid

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the expression and possible modulation of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in nasal polyps of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP).

METHODS: Nasal polyps and uncinate process tissues were collected from 25 CRSwNP patients and 19 healthy controls with nasal septal deviation. HO-1 expression was examined using qRT-PCR, immunohistochemistric staining and Western blot analysis. Moreover, additional uncinate process mucosal samples of 15 healthy controls with nasal septal deviation were harvested for nasal explant culture experiments. HO-1 expression was measured in cultured nasal explant in response to specific inflammatory and glucocorticoid stimulation. SPSS 20.0 software was used to analyze the data.

RESULTS: The mRNA and protein expression of HO-1 was significantly increased in polyp tissues, 1.220±0.397 in mRNA and 1.409±0.701 in protein, compared with healthy controls 0.464±0.318 in mRNA and 0.017±0.1147 in protein (U=22.00 in mRNA and U=1.00 in protein, both P< 0.05). The immunohistochemical results showed that HO-1 was mainly distributed in the epithelial layer, submucosal glands and inflammatory cells in nasal tissues. Nasal explant culture experiments demonstrated that HO-1 mRNA was upregulated by IL-17A. The HO-1 mRNA level before the stimulation was 1.000, and 17.264±4.275 after the stimulation of 1 ng/ml IL-17A (U=0, P<0.05), 19.128±4.605 after the stimulation of 10 ng/ml IL-17A (U=0, P<0.05), but was significantly suppressed after stimulation with glucocorticoids (dexamethasone, DEX). The mRNA level after the glucocorticoids stimulation was 0.370±0.101 (U=0, P<0.05) and 0.316±0.167 (U=0, P<0.05) respectively. Furthermore, the HO-1 mRNA was inhibited by TGF-β1, the mRNA level was 0.217±0.322 (U=0, P<0.05), 0.070±0.070 (U=0, P<0.05), respectively.

CONCLUSION: Increased HO-1 expression may play a role in the pathogenesis of CRSwNP, which may be considered as the therapeutic target.
