Th17/1-Biased Inflammatory Environment Involved in the Response of Epithelial Cells to Antigen Stimuli in Nasal Polyps

Several studies showed that IL-17A was significantly increased in nasal polyps (NPs). However, the source and characteristics of IL-17A-producing cells in NPs were not fully understood. We isolated mononuclear cells from NPs and uncinate tissues and analyzed them using flow cytometry. The results in...

description Several studies showed that IL-17A was significantly increased in nasal polyps (NPs). However, the source and characteristics of IL-17A-producing cells in NPs were not fully understood. We isolated mononuclear cells from NPs and uncinate tissues and analyzed them using flow cytometry. The results indicated that IL-17A was increased in NP tissues compared to uncinate tissues. The main IL-17A-expressing cells were CD3+ T cells in NP tissues, including Th17 cells, Tc17 cells, and γδT17 cells. Not similar to those in uncinate tissues, the majority of Th17 cells highly coexpressed IFN-γ in NP tissues, such as Th17/1 cells, which highly expressed CXCR3, CCR6, RORγt, and T-bet. Furthermore, Th17/1-biased environment increased the response of nasal epithelial cells to bacterial and viral stimuli, implying that Th17/1 cells play a greater role in the pathological development of NPs than Th17 or Th1 cells.
