Allergic rhinitis is an inflammatory disease affecting the mucosal lining of the nose of individuals of all ages. The allergen in the air involves attaching by Immunoglobulin E that causes the release of inflammatory chemicals from mast cells. This study aimed to measure the serum level of biomarkers and to determine the correlation between them in mediating activate cell in patients with AR. In this study, blood samples were taken from 88 AR patients and 88 healthy controls (HC) Symptom score was measured using the SNOT-22 questionnaire and blood sample was analyzed for eosinophil counts (B-Eos) using optical flow cytometry, IgE by electrochemiluminescence immunoassay, as well as eosinophilic cationic protein, anti-alpha smooth muscle actin (anti-SMA), cyclooxygenase- 2 (COX-2R), phosphatase and tensin (PTEN) homolog and Tryptase Alpha/Beta 1 (TPSABI) by ELISA. B-Eos, IgE, ECP, anti-SMA, and symptom scores were significantly higher in AR patients than in HC. As a result, we found that there was correlation between B-Eos and ECP (r = 0.66, p = 0.001). There was also a correlation between IgE and symptom score (r=0.64, p=0.01). COX-2 also correlated with symptoms score (r = 0.52, p = 0.04). There was a positive correlation between phosphatase and tensin homolog and TPSAB1 (r = 0.76, p<0.001) and PTEN and ECP (r = 0.53, p = 0.03). In conclusion, we realized that in allergic rhinitis, the airway inflammation was characterized by high numbers of eosinophil, IgE, ECP and anti-SMA. B- Eos, IgE and COX-2 were related to symptom scores. The study highlights the importance of systemic inflammation in AR.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
