Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a common airway inflammatory disease associated with asthma and has a high rate of postoperative recurrence. 1 In western countries, most cases of CRSwNP have been characterized as a Th2 cytokinedominant inflammation with eosinophilic infiltration and are categorized as eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis (ECRS). 1 We previously proposed a diagnostic algorithm for classifying the severity of ECRS according to the results of a large-scale epidemiological survey called the Japanese Epidemiological Survey of Refractory Eosinophilic Chronic Rhinosinusitis (JESREC) Study. 2 In Japan, this diagnostic algorithm has been widely used for diagnosis of ECRS in patients with CRSwNP. 3Nitric oxide (NO) plays various roles in airway defense mechanisms in the nasal cavity. 4 NO is catalyzed by nitric oxide synthase (NOS); thus far, three NOS isoforms have been identified: constitutive isoforms (nNOS and eNOS; gene names NOS1 and NOS3, respectively) and the inducible isoform (iNOS; gene name NOS2). In airway epithelial cells, NOS2 is mainly expressed upon an inflammatory response. 4 High expression of NOS2 was observed in nasal polyps (NP) in comparison with control tissues, but no significant differences were observed between the expression levels of NOS1 and NOS3 in NP and those in control tissues. 5 Moreover, upregulation of NOS2 and deposition of oxidized NO metabolites were observed in NP from patients with ECRS; furthermore, the deposition was colocalized with eosinophil accumulation. 6 A pentanucleotide (CCTTT) n repeat polymorphism was previously identified in the NOS2 promoter region. 7 In Japanese patients with asthma, the expression levels of NOS2 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) gradually increased as the pentanucleotide repeat numbers decreased, and patients carrying 11 repeats had high rates of asthma exacerbation. 7 Therefore, it is speculated that the pentanucleotide repeat polymorphism in the NOS2 promoter may be associated with NOS2 expression in NP and with postoperative recurrence in patients with CRSwNP, especially in those with ECRS. In the present study, we investigated the relationship between the NOS2 pentanucleotide repeat polymorphism and its effects on NOS2 expression in the NP of patients with CRSwNP and ECRS. Furthermore, we examined the association between the NOS2 pentanucleotide repeat polymorphism and risk of postoperative recurrence in a
