ABSTRACT
Background and Objectives@#We evaluated differences in the pathophysiology of atopic and non-atopic eosinophilic nasal polyps and investigated their distinct inflammatory profiles.Subjects and Method A total of 36 patients were recruited: 10 controls (Group C), 14 with chronic rhinosinusitis with eosinophilic nasal polyps with atopy (Group A), and 12 without atopy (Group NA). @*Results@#Serum eosinophil counts, total immunoglobulin E, eosinophil cationic protein levels, and tissue eosinophil counts were elevated in Groups A and NA vs. Group C. Real-time polymerase chain reaction results showed increased GATA-3, interleukin (IL)-4, IL-33 levels, but decreased levels of retinoic acid-related orphan receptor gamma t, IL-17 in Groups A and NA. Related to the regulatory T (T-reg) cell response, forkhead box P3 (Foxp3+) (A: p<0.001, NA: p<0.001) and IL-10 (A: p<0.001, NA: p<0.001) levels were elevated and transforming growth factor-β levels (A: p<0.001, NA: p<0.001) were decreased in Group A and Group NA in comparison to those in Group C. The Foxp3+ (p=0.001) and IL-10 (p<0.001) were significantly higher in Group A than in Group NA. @*Conclusion@#T-reg cells and IL-10 may be major factors differentiating the pathophysiology of atopic and non-atopic eosinophilic nasal polyps, and the T helper (Th) 2/Th17/T-reg imbalance might be important in the development of eosinophilic nasal polyposis.
