The aim of this paper is to present an up-to-date information about therapeutical options in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps. First choice therapy is a long term regular application of intranasal steroids in combination with salinic solution douches. If this treatment is not eff ective enough, then the pulses of systemic steroids are indicated. If the sufficient control of the disease is not achieved, then surgery is a therapeutic choice; it means functional endoscopic sinus surgery in the extent corresponding to the extension of the sinus disease. However, there remains a certain group of patients in whom the results with this treatment are not optimal. The type 2 immunopathological response affects relevantly the course of the disease. Nowadays, the research is done in this field. Specific agents, which are able to block circulating inflammatory mediators or bind receptors for these mediators are developed and studied. The results of the studies having been completed by now are promising. Keywords: biological therapy – chronic rhinosinusitis – nasal polyps – dupilumab – immunoglobulin E – interleukin

Cross-linking of antigen-specific IgE bound to the high-affinity IgE receptor (FcεRI) on the surface of mast cells with multivalent antigens results in the release of mediators and development of type 2 inflammation. FcεRI expression and IgE synthesis are, therefore, critical for type 2 inflammatory disease development. In an attempt to clarify the relationship between eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis (ECRS) and mast cell infiltration, we analyzed mast cell infiltration at lesion sites and determined its clinical significance. Mast cells are positive for c-kit, and IgE in uncinated tissues (UT) and nasal polyps (NP) were examined by immunohistochemistry. The number of positive cells and clinicopathological factors were analyzed. Patients with ECRS exhibited high levels of total IgE serum levels and elevated peripheral blood eosinophil ratios. As a result, the number of mast cells with membranes positive for c-kit and IgE increased significantly in lesions forming NP. Therefore, we classified IgE-positive mast cells into two groups: membrane IgE-positive cells and cytoplasmic IgE-positive cells. The amount of membrane IgE-positive mast cells was significantly increased in moderate ECRS. A positive correlation was found between the membrane IgE-positive cells and the radiological severity score, the ratio of eosinophils, and the total serum IgE level. The number of cytoplasmic IgE-positive mast cells was significantly increased in moderate and severe ECRS. A positive correlation was observed between the cytoplasmic IgE-positive cells and the radiological severity score, the ratio of eosinophils in the blood, and the total IgE level. These results suggest that the process of mast cell internalization of antigens via the IgE receptor is involved in ECRS pathogenesis.

Airway inflammation plays a key role in asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). The inflammatory process can vary in intensity thus affecting the clinical picture of the disease and, most importantly, the effectiveness of therapy. Today, there is still a high rate of growth in the incidence of asthma and CRSwNP and dissatisfaction with the effectiveness of existing therapy for severe forms of asthma, especially when asthma is associated with CRSwNP, so the main task is to find new approaches to diagnosis and therapy. The development of biologics is a promising step forward in achieving control of severe and poorly controlled asthma and recurrent CRSwNP that target individual and specific components of inflammation. One of the latest monoclonal antibodies is Dupilumab that has shown significant success in the treatment of asthma and CRSwNP. Dupilumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody directed against the -subunit of the Il-4 interleukin receptor (IL-4R), common to both IL-4 and IL-4/IL-13 receptor complexes. This contributes to the suppression of type 2 cytokine signaling (IL-4 and IL-13), since the IL-4/IL-13/STAT6 signaling pathway plays a crucial role in type 2-inflammation. Currently, Dupilumab is approved for the treatment of severe asthma and CRSwNP, so this article summarizes the main information about Dupilumab and its effectiveness in these diseases, as well as presents the results of clinical observation.

Adult chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a chronic inflammation of the mucosa of the nose and paranasal sinuses. According to the latest EPOS guidelines CRS should be regarded as primary or secondary with distinction between diffuse and localized disease. Further pathophysiologic research identified different inflammatory patterns leading to the term “endotyping of CRS.” The primary focus of endotyping is to define a dominant inflammatory type allowing for better orientation of therapy. The current approach proposes the differentiation between type 2 (eosinophilic) and non-type 2 inflammatory responses. In this review pathophysiological concepts of CRS will be discussed, focusing on the different inflammatory endotypes of T cells with special attention to the eosinophilic type 2 inflammatory response. The contribution of innate and adaptive immune system responses is presented. The possibility of endotyping based on sinonasal secretions sampling is brought to attention because it is indicative of corticosteroid responsiveness and available to most ENT surgeons. Furthermore, the clinical aspects of the three distinct phenotypes are analyzed in view of their characteristics, the related endoscopic findings, typical radiological imaging, histopathology findings, their relation toward allergy and obvious therapeutical implications. This overview will enable clinicians to relate pathophysiological patterns with clinical observations by explaining the different inflammatory mechanisms, hence providing a better understanding of therapy.

Patients with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)-exacerbated respiratory disease (N-ERD) often suffer from chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) with nasal polyps, a form of primary diffuse Type 2 CRS. Although this disease is also seen in NSAID-tolerant patients, CRS in N-ERD often is more severe and more treatment resistant; local nasal therapy (nasal corticosteroids) and endoscopic sinus surgery are employed like in NSAID-tolerant patients, but with limited and/or short-lived effects. This mini-review gives an overview of the current additional treatment options for CRS in N-ERD. As such diets, aspirin therapy after desensitization, antileukotriene therapy and biologicals are discussed based on the current body of literature. Selecting the right treatment strategy depends on shared-decision making, local availability and cooperation between ENT-surgeons, allergists, and pulmonologists.
