Summary

A new rabbit model for nasal polyps with eosinophil infiltration was developed using ovalbumin and inflammatory agents. This model aids in understanding polyp formation mechanisms and inflammatory gene expression.

Area of Science:

Otolaryngology
Immunology
Molecular Biology

Background:

Nasal polyps are common otolaryngology findings.
Existing rabbit models often lack eosinophil infiltration.
A novel model is needed to study eosinophil-driven polyp formation.

Purpose of the Study:

Establish a rabbit model of nasal polyps with eosinophil infiltration.
Investigate the role of inflammatory agents in polyp development.
Analyze gene expression changes associated with polyp formation.

Main Methods:

Rabbits were sensitized with ovalbumin (OVA).
Maxillary sinuses were treated with inflammatory agents (valine-glycine-serine-glutamine or poly-L-arginine).
Histological analysis and DNA microarray were performed.

Main Results:

Polyps with eosinophil infiltration and mucosal hypertrophy were induced in treated groups.
Poly-L-arginine treatment showed greater effects than valine-glycine-serine-glutamine.
Gene expression analysis revealed altered inflammation and extracellular matrix metabolism pathways.

Conclusions:

Inflammatory agents combined with antigen-specific immunity can induce nasal polyps with eosinophils.
The developed rabbit model is clinically relevant for studying polyp pathogenesis.
Gene expression profiles provide insights into the molecular mechanisms of nasal polyp formation.
