PG - 14-20 LID - 10.2500/ar.2016.7.0149 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: The issue of heat shock protein (HSP) 70 and anti-HSP70 antibodies in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) has never been explored. OBJECTIVE: To determine the nasal secretion (NS) levels of HSP70 and anti-HSP70 antibodies in patients with CRS with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) and patients with CRS without nasal polyps (CRSsNP), and to evaluate their associations with CRS clinical severity and correlation with NS interleukin (IL), IL-5 and interferon lambda. METHODS: CRS severity was determined by Lund-Mackay scores. Levels of immunoglobulin E (IgE), IL-4, IL-5, interferon lambda, HSP70, and anti-HSP70 antibody levels in NS were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS: Forty-six patients with CRSsNP (25 women [54.3%] and 21 men [45.7%], mean [standard deviation SD]) age, 34.1 +/- 12.3 years; 54 patients with CRSwNP (24 women [44.4%] and 30 men [55.6%], mean [SD] age, 37.9 +/- 17.5 years). A group of 40 healthy subjects served as controls. Compared with the controls (with a mean [SD] NS HSP70 level of 0.05 +/- 0.03 mug/mL), mean [SD] NS HSP70 levels in both the CRSsNP group (0.16 +/- 0.07 mug/mL) and CRSwNP group (0.21 +/- 0.10 mug/mL) were increased (p < 0.001). Similarly, the mean (SD) NS anti-HSP70 antibody levels were significantly higher in patients with CRSwNP (0.25 +/- 0.09 optical density value [ODV]) compared with CRSsNP (0.13 +/- 0.04 ODV) (p < 0.001) and healthy controls (0.14 +/- 0.02 ODV) (p < 0.001). NS HSP70 in subjects with CRSwNP showed a significant positive correlation with the Lund-Mackay score (r = 0.31; p < 0.05). NS levels of either HSP70 or anti-HSP70 antibodies were strongly correlated with NS IL-4 in the CRSwNP group (r = 0.62, p < 0.001; and r = 0.69, p < 0.001, respectively). CONCLUSION: NS concentrations of HSP70 and secretory IgA anti HSP70 antibodies are increased in CRSwNP (but not in CRSsNP) and correlate positively with the Lund-Mackay score, NS IL-4, and NS IL-5.
