Wogonin attenuates nasal polyp formation by inducing eosinophil apoptosis through HIF-1α and survivin suppression.
Scientific Reports 2018 April 19
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is an inflammatory sinonasal disorder characterized by eosinophilic inflammation and T-helper 2 skewing. Eosinophil accumulation in sinonasal mucosa comprises a major feature of CRSwNP. The study aimed to investigate the effect of the flavone wogonin in nasal polyposis by assessing its ability to induce eosinophil apoptosis in vitro and attenuate eosinophilic CRSwNP in mice. Double immunofluorescence, immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, and immunoblotting were performed to evaluate hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α, survivin, and apoptotic markers in the human eosinophilic EoL-1 cell line or sinonasal tissues from patients with CRS with or without NPs. In sinonasal specimens from patients with CRS, HIF-1α and survivin were up-regulated in eosinophils from patients with NPs compared with levels in patients without NPs. Under hypoxia, HIF-1α and survivin expression was up-regulated in EoL-1 cells. Wogonin down-regulated both HIF-1α and survivin in EoL-1 cells. In addition, overexpression of survivin protected EoL-1 cells against apoptosis in response to wogonin. Moreover, wogonin attenuated nasal polyp formation in a murine model. Our findings suggest that wogonin could induce caspase-3 activation by suppressing HIF-1α and survivin expression in EoL-1 cells. Further studies regarding novel therapeutic options for CRSwNP targeting eosinophil apoptosis are needed.
