Endotypes of Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Primary and Recurring Nasal Polyps in the Latvian Population.

Viksne. Rudolfs Janis RJ; Sumeraga. Gunta G; Pilmane. Mara M

Key Findings

  • Five distinct inflammatory endotypes were identified in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps.
  • Neutrophil‑driven inflammation (alone or combined with type‑2) was the most common pattern in the Latvian group.
  • Higher Lund‑Mackay CT scores were seen in one cluster, while the cell‑proliferation marker Ki‑67 didn’t correlate with severity.

Practical Outcomes

  • For biohackers, the research offers little direct action: LL‑37 is shown as a disease marker, not a supplement or therapy, so there’s no protocol, dosage, or performance benefit to apply.

Summary

The study examined tissue from people with nasal polyps and grouped them into five inflammation types using markers like LL‑37, but it didn’t test any treatments or give advice on using the peptide. It mainly shows how the disease varies, not how to improve health or performance.

Abstract

Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a complex syndrome with various inflammatory mechanisms resulting in different patterns of inflammation that correlate with the clinical phenotypes of CRS. Our aim was to use detected IL-1, IL-4, IL-6, IL-7, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12, Ki 67, HBD-2, HBD-3, and LL-37 to classify specific inflammatory endotypes in chronic rhinosinusitis with the tissue of nasal polyps (CRSwNP). Samples from 35 individuals with primary and recurrent CRSwNP were taken during surgery. The tissues were stained for the previously mentioned biomarkers immunohistochemically. A hierarchical cluster analysis was performed. The clinical parameters were compared between clusters. Five clusters had significantly different biomarkers between groups. There were no significant differences in the clinical parameters, except for the Lund-Mackay score, which was significantly higher in cluster 4 compared to that of cluster 1 (<i>p</i> = 0.024). Five endotypes of (CRSwNP) are characterized by different combinations of type 1, type 2, and type 3 tissue inflammation patterns. In the Latvian population, endotypes associated with neutrophilic inflammation or a combination of neutrophilic inflammation and type 2 inflammation are predominant. Increased proliferation marker Ki 67 values are not associated with more severe inflammation in the tissue samples of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps.
