Background Eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (ECRSwNP) exhibits a poorer outcome compared with non-eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (nonECRSwNP), so it is significant to identify effective markers to differentiate ECRSwNP in guiding the treatment strategies of these patients. Although arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase (ALOX15) is positioned as a marker of eosinophilic inflammation, its study in differentiating ECRSwNP has not been reported. The aim of this study is to assess the potential of ALOX15 in distinguishing and predicting ECRSwNP. Methods Forty-eight patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), including 30 ECRSwNP and 18 nonECRSwNP patients, were enrolled. ALOX15 mRNA level was determined in polyps by real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The patients’ baseline characteristics were evaluated and analyzed for correlations with ALOX15. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to assess the predictive significance of the potential predictors for ECRSwNP. Results ALOX15 mRNA level was significantly higher in ECRSwNP patients than in nonECRSwNP patients (P < 0.001). ALOX15 mRNA was significantly correlated with tissue and blood eosinophil percentages (r = 0.565, P < 0.001 and r = 0.395, P = 0.006), olfaction scores (r = 0.400, P = 0.005), total visual analogue scale (VAS) symptom scores (r = 0.383, P = 0.007), ethmoid/maxillary sinus (E/M) ratio (r = 0.463, P = 0.001), and endoscopy scores (r = 0.409, P = 0.004). Logistic regression analysis showed ALOX15 mRNA level and percentage of blood eosinophils to be predictive factors for ECRSwNP (P = 0.004 and P = 0.036, respectively). ROC curve indicated ALOX15 to have high predictive accuracy for ECRSwNP (area under the curve (AUC) = 0.909), which was further improved by combination of ALOX15 with percentage of blood eosinophils (AUC = 0.933). Conclusions The relative ALOX15 mRNA level alone or in combination with blood eosinophils might be a reliable biomarker for predicting a diagnosis of ECRSwNP.

“…It is proposed that this is due to a local class switching to IgE and local IgE production, rather than derived from the systemic circulation . Total serum IgE, positive skin‐prick testing (SPT), or immunoassay testing for serum‐specific IgE have previously shown no significant association with elevated tissue IgE …”

Background: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), in particular with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), has been linked with skewed T-helper 2 and immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated allergic responses. The role of atopy in CRS, however, remains unclear. Correlations between immunological allergic markers and patient-reported outcomes measures (PROMs) were investigated. Methods:A cross-sectional study of adult patients with CRS undergoing endoscopic sinus surgery was conducted. Immunological allergic markers included automated immunoassay testing for serum-specific IgE to common allergens (house dust mite, grass, mold, animal epithelia) and total IgE. PROMs were assessed using the 22-item Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22). Patients were defined as atopic based on either a positive specific IgE or elevated total IgE (>160 kU/L). Results:A total of 446 patients (45.7% female, age 49.05 ± 14.96 years) were recruited, of which 42.8% had asthma, 51.6% had CRSwNP, and 63.0% had eosinophilic CRS. Positive allergen sensitization was detected in 52.9% patients. Total IgE levels were elevated in 28.0% with mean IgE level of 161 ± 269 kU/L. Atopy was associated with younger age at the time of surgery, CRSwNP, asthma, and eosinophilic CRS (eCRS). Atopy was also associated with increased severity in nasal symptom score (13.1 ± 6.4 vs 11.9 ± 6.0, p = 0.04), as well as worse scores in the loss of smell/taste (χ 2 (1) = 5.97, p = 0.02) and need to blow nose (χ 2 (1) = 4.26, p = 0.04) questions in the CRS population. In the CRSwNP population, there was no significant association between atopy and PROMs. Conclusion:Comorbid atopy in CRS is associated with additional symptom burden, reflected mainly within the nasal symptom quality of life markers. Atopy assessment in CRS is important to ensure appropriate and successful treatment of the disease. C 2018 ARS-AAOA, LLC.
