    Results: Differentially identified transcripts and pathways were assessed for the overall population and the clinical phenotypes of CRSwNP and CRSsNP. Patterns of response to treatment were similar across all groups, implicating pathways for the regulation of immunity and epithelial cell regulation. These resemble the patterns of improvement observed following successful treatment with endoscopic sinus surgery or azithromycin.
    Conclusion: Gene expression profiling following the application of live bacteria to the diseased sinus epithelium highlights the implication of multiple components of the inflammation-microbiome-epithelial barrier axis implicated in CRS. These effects appear to involve both epithelial restoration and modulation of innate and adaptive immunity, supporting the potential interest of targeting the sinus epithelium and the microbiome as potential CRS therapies.

    Abstract Background: The sinonasal microbiome is believed to play an important role in the pathophysiology of refractory chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). We evaluated changes in the microbiome following a 4-month course of low-dose azithromycin. Assessing microbiome alterations following such a treatment may help identify underlying mechanisms of this drug.
    Methods: A total of 48 adults with refractory CRS were enrolled in a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial. Patients were randomized to 250 mg of azithromycin or placebo 3 times weekly for 4 months. During this time, daily budesonide saline irrigations were continued. Sinonasal swabs were collected by endoscopically-assisted method prior to treatment initiation and at the end of it, and sent for 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing. High-resolution ANCHOR pipeline was used to infer and annotate putative species. The 2 patient groups were compared using DESeq2 differential abundance analysis.
    Results: From initiation to the end of azithromycin treatment, patients showed a significant difference in beta diversity analysis (p = 0.0004) along with a significant decrease in 71 different operational taxonomic units (OTUs) of Staphylococcus aureus (false discovery rate [FDR] < 0.05) obtained from the differential abundance analysis. This was not observed in placebo-treated patients. By the end of treatments, azithromycin-treated patients had a significant decrease in 29 different OTUs of S. aureus (FDR < 0.05) when compared to placebo.
    Conclusion: A 4-month course of 250 mg of azithromycin 3 times weekly in patients with refractory CRS significantly decreases S. aureus abundance in the sinonasal microbiome. Considering the pathogenic role of S. aureus in the refractory CRS population, azithromycin may constitute an additional therapeutic option to help control this disease.

    Abstract Objectives: Successful recovery from chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) following endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) can be characterized by minimal presence of symptoms and absence of disease on endoscopy. However, molecular markers of surgical success remain to be characterized. These could allow for better tailoring of perioperative therapy. This study aims to identify novel molecular markers associated with surgery responsive patient.
    Study design: Prospective cohort study.
    Setting: Single academic hospital center.
    Method: One hundred eighteen consecutive patients with CRS at high risk of recurrence after surgery were followed prospectively following ESS in an academic medical center. Symptomatic and endoscopic outcomes were assessed at 4 months, with success rigorously defined subjectively as minimal or no symptoms (no symptom greater than 1 on an ordinal scale of 0-3) and objectively by the absence of nasal polyposis on sinus cavity endoscopy and Lund-Kennedy endoscopic edema score no greater than 1. Samples were obtained at the time of surgery and at 4-month postoperatively. Changes associated with surgery were determined by gene expression profiling using Affymetrix's Clariom S Human HT arrays.
    Results: Successful ESS was characterized by a mild upregulation in Type 1 inflammation, upregulation of cell cycle progression, and epithelial barrier and proliferation-associated genes and pathways. ESS failure was associated to very high levels of Type 1 inflammation along with downregulation of epithelial barrier function and regeneration genes and pathways.
    Conclusion: Successful recovery from ESS involves restoration of epithelial function and regulated activation of Type 1 inflammation. Excessively elevated Type 1 inflammation is associated with epithelial barrier dysfunction.

    Abstract Objective: Previous in vitro transcriptomic profiling suggests azithromycin exerts its effects in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) via modulation of type 1 inflammation and restoration of epithelial barrier function. We wished to verify these postulated effects using in vitro models of epithelial repair and in vivo transcriptional profiling.
    Study design: Functional effects of azithromycin in CRS were verified using in vitro models of wounding. The mechanism of the effect of azithromycin was assessed in vivo using transcriptomic profiling.
    Setting: Academic medical center.
    Methods: Effects of azithromycin on the speed of epithelial repair were verified in a wounding model using primary nasal epithelial cells (pNEC) from CRS patients. Nasal brushings collected pre-and posttreatment during a placebo-controlled trial of azithromycin for CRS patients unresponsive to surgery underwent transcriptomic profiling to identify implicated pathways.
    Results: Administration of azithromycin improved the wound healing rates in CRS pNECs and prevented the negative effect of Staphylococcus aureus on epithelial repair. In vivo, response to azithromycin was associated with downregulation in pathways of type 1 inflammation, and upregulation of pathways implicated in the restoration of the cell cycle.
    Conclusion: Restoration of healthy epithelial function may represent a major mode of action of azithromycin in CRS. In vitro models show enhanced epithelial repair, while in vivo transcriptomics shows downregulation of pathways type 1 inflammation accompanied by upregulation of DNA repair and cell-cycle pathways. The maximal effect in patients with high levels of type 1-enhanced inflammation suggests that azithromycin may represent a novel therapeutic option for surgery-unresponsive CRS patients.
