LID - S0091-6749(24)00193-3 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.jaci.2024.02.013 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: The function of kallistatin in airway inflammation, particularly chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), has not been elucidated. OBJECTIVE: We sought to investigate the role of kallistatin in airway inflammation. METHODS: Kallistatin and proinflammatory cytokine expression levels were detected in nasal polyps. For the in vivo studies, we constructed the kallistatin-overexpressing transgenic mice to elucidate the role of kallistatin in airway inflammation. Furthermore, the levels of plasma IgE and proinflammatory cytokines in the airways were evaluated in the kallistatin(-/-) rat in vivo model under a type 2 inflammatory background. Finally, the Notch signaling pathway was explored to understand the role of kallistatin in CRSwNP. RESULTS: We showed that the expression of kallistatin was significantly higher in nasal polyps than in the normal nasal mucosa and correlated with IL-4 expression. We also discovered that the nasal mucosa of kallistatin-overexpressing transgenic mice expressed higher levels of IL-4 expression, associating to T(H)2-type inflammation. Interestingly, we observed lower IL-4 levels in the nasal mucosa and lower total plasma IgE of the kallistatin(-/-) group treated with house dust mite allergen compared with the wild-type house dust mite group. Finally, we observed a significant increase in the expression of Jagged2 in the nasal epithelium cells transduced with adenovirus-kallistatin. This heightened expression correlated with increased secretion of IL-4, attributed to the augmented population of CD4(+)CD45(+)Notch1(+) T cells. These findings collectively may contribute to the induction of T(H)2-type inflammation. CONCLUSIONS: Kallistatin was demonstrated to be involved in the CRSwNP pathogenesis by enhancing the T(H)2 inflammation, which was found to be associated with more expression of IL-4, potentially facilitated through Jagged2-Notch1 signaling in CD4(+) T cells.
