IL-4Rα signaling promotes barrier-altering oncostatin M and IL-6 production in aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease
Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology(2024)
摘要
Background
Aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) is a severe disease involving dysregulated type 2 inflammation. However, the role other inflammatory pathways play in AERD is poorly understood.
Objective
We sought to broadly define the inflammatory milieu of the upper respiratory tract in AERD and to determine the effects of IL-4Rα inhibition on mediators of nasal inflammation.
Methods
Twenty-two AERD patients treated with dupilumab for 3 months were followed over 3 visits and compared to 10 healthy controls. Nasal fluid was assessed for 45 cytokines and chemokines using Olink Target 48. Blood neutrophils and cultured human mast cells, monocytes/macrophages, and nasal fibroblasts were assessed for response to IL-4/13 stimulation in vitro.
Results
Of the nasal fluid cytokines measured, nearly one-third were higher in AERD patients compared to healthy controls, including IL-6 and the IL-6 family-related cytokine oncostatin M (OSM), both of which correlated with nasal albumin levels, a marker of epithelial barrier dysregulation. Dupilumab significantly decreased many nasal mediators, including OSM and IL-6. IL-4 stimulation induced OSM production from mast cells and macrophages, but not from neutrophils, and OSM and IL-13 stimulation induced IL-6 production from nasal fibroblasts.
Conclusion
In addition to type 2 inflammation, innate and IL-6-related cytokines are also elevated in the respiratory tract in AERD. Both OSM and IL-6 are locally produced in nasal polyps and likely promote pathology by negatively affecting epithelial barrier function. IL-4Rα blockade, though seemingly directed at type 2 inflammation, also decreases mediators of innate inflammation and epithelial dysregulation, which may contribute to dupilumab’s therapeutic efficacy in AERD.
