The demonstration that IFN-γ and IL-13 both significantly reduce ciliated cell differentiation and CBF in CRSwNP patients, and IL-13 additionally induces significant goblet cell hyperplasia and MUC5AC mucin expression, as well as IL-17 significantly increases MUC5B mucin expression, suggests that these inflammatory cytokines may be potential therapeutic targets in the management of CRSwNP.
