Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is associated with the failure of the mechanical and immunologic barriers across the nasal mucosa. Considering the innate immune barrier our attention has focused on HMGB1 a protein released actively by immunocompetent cells, under different stimuli, and passively by necrotic cells as danger signal.
Once released, it acts at nuclear level on NF-kB attracting inflammatory cells, activating dendritic cells, promoting their functional maturation and increasing eosinophils activity and survival.
We analysed HMGB1 characteristics and functions on the respiratory epithelium during rhinosinusal inflammation.
