Bactericidal antibiotics have been shown to stimulate reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation in mammalian cells through mitochondrial dysfunction. This results in oxidative tissue damage that may have negative consequences for long-term antibiotic use. Antibiotics are widely and heavily used in the treatment of acute and chronic sinusitis, however the relationship between antibiotics and ROS formation in sinonasal epithelial cells (SNECs) has not yet been demonstrated. Human SNECs were collected from patients during endoscopic sinus surgery and grown in culture at the air-liquid interface. Differentiated SNECs were stimulated with the bactericidal antibiotics amoxicillin and levofloxacin and the bacteriostatic antibiotic clarithromycin for 24-hours. Reactive oxygen species were quantified via fluorescence. Cell death was quantified by LDH secretion. Expression of inflammatory markers such as TNF-α and Nrf2 mediated antioxidant genes were measured by RT-PCR. Cultured SNECs treated with the bactericidal antibiotics amoxicillin and levofloxacin resulted in a significant increase in production of ROS (p<0.05) and secretion of LDH (p<0.05). The increase in ROS formation correlated with an increase in expression of Nrf-2 mediated antioxidant genes as well as the expression and production of pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF- α, and IL-1β (p<0.05). SNECs treated with clarithromycin did not demonstrate statistically significant increases in ROS or pro-inflammatory cytokine production. In this study, we demonstrate that treatment of cultured human SNECs with bactericidal antibiotics leads to formation of ROS with an associated increase in inflammatory and antioxidant gene expression and cell death. This suggests that long term or inappropriate antibiotic use in the treatment of sinusitis, may result in oxidative tissue damage to the sinonasal epithelium. Future studies will explore the clinical implications of such damage to the sinonasal epithelium.
