: Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRwNP) has multiple clinical presentations, and predictors of successful treatment are correlated to different parameters. Differentially expressed microRNAs in nasal polyps emerge as possible facilitators of precise endotyping in this disease. We aimed to evaluate the correlation between the clinical parameters of CRSwNP and two different microRNAs. : The expression of miR-125b and miR-203a-3p in nasal polyps ( = 86) and normal nasal mucosa ( = 20) was determined through microarray analysis. Preoperative workup included CT scan, nasal endoscopy, blood tests, symptoms and depression questionnaires. : MiR-125b showed significant overexpression in NP compared to the normal nasal mucosa. miR-125b expression levels were positively and significantly correlated with blood eosinophilia ( = 0.018) and nasal endoscopy score ( = 0.021). Although high CT scores were related to miR-125b overexpression, the correlation did not reach statistical significance. miR-203a-3p was underexpressed in nasal polyps and was significantly underexpressed in CRSwNP patients with environmental allergies. : Both miR-125b and miR-203a-3p are potential biomarkers in CRSwNP. miR-125b also correlates with the clinical picture, while miR-203a-3p could help identify an associated allergy.
慢性鼻-鼻窦炎伴鼻息肉(CRSwNP)有多种临床表现,治疗成功的预测因素与不同的参数相关。鼻息肉中差异表达的 microRNAs 可能成为该疾病精确表型分型的促进因素。我们旨在评估 CRSwNP 的临床参数与两种不同 microRNAs 之间的相关性。
通过微阵列分析确定鼻息肉( = 86)和正常鼻黏膜( = 20)中 miR-125b 和 miR-203a-3p 的表达。术前检查包括 CT 扫描、鼻内镜检查、血液检查、症状和抑郁问卷。
与正常鼻黏膜相比,NP 中 miR-125b 表达显著上调。miR-125b 表达水平与血嗜酸性粒细胞计数( = 0.018)和鼻内镜评分( = 0.021)呈正相关且显著相关。尽管高 CT 评分与 miR-125b 过表达相关,但相关性未达到统计学意义。miR-203a-3p 在鼻息肉中表达下调,在伴有环境过敏的 CRSwNP 患者中表达显著下调。
miR-125b 和 miR-203a-3p 均为 CRSwNP 的潜在生物标志物。miR-125b 还与临床表现相关,而 miR-203a-3p 可能有助于识别相关过敏。
