Laryngotracheal Mucosal Surface Expression of Candidate Biomarkers in Idiopathic Subglottic Stenosis

Melissa M. Liu, Kevin M. Motz, Michael K. Murphy, Linda X. Yin, Dacheng Ding, Alexander Gelbard, Alexander T. Hillel

Summary: Idiopathic subglottic stenosis (iSGS) is an inflammatory process that causes fibrosis and narrowing of the laryngotracheal airway. This pilot study measured candidate targets' expression in iSGS patients' subglottic mucosal surface, identifying upregulation of pro-inflammatory and pro-fibrotic pathways and suggesting CCL2 and IFNG as potential biomarkers for iSGS.

A Rare Laryngeal Presentation of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome

Kelly L. Vittetoe, Kelly C. Landeen, Alexander Gelbard

Summary: Stevens-Johnson syndrome is a rare but severe mucocutaneous epidermolysis triggered by medications. It is characterized by mucocutaneous lesions on the trunk, face, limbs, as well as oral, gastrointestinal, and respiratory tract involvement. Providers should maintain a high index of suspicion for laryngeal involvement in SJS patients for timely management.

Modeling Recurrence in Idiopathic Subglottic Stenosis With Mobile Peak Expiratory Flow

Kyle Kimura, Liping Du, Lynn D. Berry, Li-Ching Huang, Sheau-Chiann Chen, David O. Francis, Alexander Gelbard

Summary: This study established normative peak expiratory flow (PEF) data for patients with idiopathic subglottic stenosis (iSGS), and found that immediate changes in PEF after a procedure were not predictive of long-term treatment response or disease recurrence. Instead, a decline in longitudinal PEF over 90 days was associated with an increased risk of disease recurrence.

Impact of Adjuvant Medical Therapies on Surgical Outcomes in Idiopathic Subglottic Stenosis

Matthew R. Hoffman, Ankita Patro, Li-Ching Huang, Sheau-Chiann Chen, Lynn D. Berry, Alexander Gelbard, David O. Francis

Summary: The study investigated the use of adjuvant medications in patients with idiopathic subglottic stenosis (iSGS), showing that proton pump inhibitors and antibiotics are commonly used in endoscopic dilation, while antibiotics are often used in endoscopic resection with medical treatment. The use of medications did not significantly affect patient outcomes.

Impact of Serial Intralesional Steroid Injections on Idiopathic Subglottic Stenosis

Matthew R. Hoffman, Ankita Patro, Li-Ching Huang, Sheau-Chiann Chen, Lynn D. Berry, Alexander Gelbard, David O. Francis

Summary: This study evaluates the effect of serial intralesional steroid injection (SILSI) on idiopathic subglottic stenosis (iSGS) patients. The results show that there is no significant difference in time to recurrence, peak expiratory flow (PEF), and clinical chronic obstructive pulmonary disease questionnaire (CCQ) score between patients undergoing and not undergoing SILSI. Furthermore, factors predicting recurrence in patients undergoing SILSI were not identified.

Human Leukocyte Antigen Genotyping of Idiopathic Subglottic Stenosis

Matthew L. L. Rohlfing, Alexander T. T. Hillel, Elizabeth Wohler, Nara Sobreira, Elizabeth J. Phillips, Simon A. A. Mallal, Alexander Gelbard

Summary: Despite scientific inquiry, the underlying cause of idiopathic subglottic stenosis (iSGS) remains unknown. This study investigated the association between HLA polymorphisms and iSGS susceptibility but found no significant association. The findings suggest that if genetic factors contribute to iSGS, they likely lie outside the HLA locus and iSGS has a distinct genetic architecture from GPA.

Myeloid Phenotypes in Tracheostomy-Associated Granulation Tissue

Alexandra J. Berges, Rafael Ospino, Ioan A. Lina, Samuel Collins, Yee Chan-Li, Alexander Gelbard, Alexander T. Hillel, Kevin M. Motz

Summary: This study aims to define the myeloid cell population in tracheostomy-associated granulation tissue. The results showed that macrophages and monocytes are the dominant cell types in the tissue, with M2 macrophages being the most prevalent. These findings provide valuable insights for future investigations into potential treatments for tracheostomy-associated granulation tissue.

Characterizing the Macrophage Population in Patients With Idiopathic Subglottic Stenosis

Rafael Ospino, Alexandra Berges, Laura Mafla, Samuel Collins, Yee Chan Li, Ioan Lina, Alexander Gelbard, Alexander T. T. Hillel, Kevin Motz

Summary: Idiopathic subglottic stenosis (iSGS) is a disease characterized by progressive fibrosis and narrowing of the subglottic lumen. This study aimed to characterize the transcriptome of iSGS macrophages and identify fibrogenic biomarkers. The results revealed that S100A8/9 is a key biomarker in iSGS macrophages and has a profibrotic nature in vitro.

Summary: Recent scientific efforts in SGS have identified 20 candidate risk genes associated with fibrotic disease of the proximal airway. Pathway enrichment analysis revealed the molecular roles of these genes and their enrichment in epithelial, fibroblast, and endothelial cells.

Sirolimus-eluting airway stent reduces profibrotic Th17 cells and inhibits laryngotracheal stenosis

Kevin M. Motz, Ioan A. Lina, Idris Samad, Michael K. Murphy, Madhavi Duvvuri, Ruth J. Davis, Alexander Gelbard, Liam Chung, Yee Chan-Li, Samuel Collins, Jonathan D. Powell, Jennifer H. Elisseeff, Maureen R. Horton, Alexander T. Hillel

Summary: Laryngotracheal stenosis (LTS) is characterized by fibrotic narrowing of the larynx and trachea and the involvement of CD4+ T cells. This study investigates the role of mTOR signaling in CD4+ T cells in promoting LTS fibrosis and suggests that targeting mTOR with sirolimus can effectively treat LTS by inhibiting profibrotic Th17 cells. The findings also suggest the possibility of local delivery of sirolimus with a drug-eluting stent for LTS treatment.

Navigating Pathways to Diagnosis in Idiopathic Subglottic Stenosis: A Qualitative Study

Cara Damico Smith, Nainika Nanda, Kemberlee Bonnet, David Schlundt, Catherine Anderson, Sara Fernandes-Taylor, Alexander Gelbard, David O. Francis

Summary: This study used qualitative methods to analyze the diagnostic journey of patients with idiopathic subglottic stenosis (iSGS). The findings showed that social support for patients and doctors' willingness to refer were the most influential factors in accelerating diagnosis. However, medical paternalism and gatekeeping practices prolonged the diagnostic odyssey.

Localizing Hormone Receptor Expression to Cellular Compartments in Idiopathic Subglottic Stenosis

Edward Ryan R. Talatala, Evan Clark, Wenda Ye, Ruth J. Davis, Alexander T. Hillel, Samuel L. Collins, Marisol Ramirez-Solano, Quanhu Sheng, Alexander Gelbard

Summary: This study aimed to localize cell-specific gene expression of estrogen receptors (ESR1 and ESR2) and progesterone receptor (PGR) using an established iSGS single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) cell atlas. The results showed differential expression of endocrine receptors in the proximal airway mucosa of iSGS patients and primarily expressed by fibroblasts, immune cells, and endothelial cells in airway scar. These findings provide a foundation for further investigating the role of hormone-dependent mechanisms in iSGS disease pathogenesis.

scDemultiplex: An iterative beta-binomial model-based method for accurate demultiplexing with hashtag oligos

Summary: Single-cell sequencing is widely used for studying cellular heterogeneity, and sample multiplexing is an important technique that allows for increased capacity, decreased costs, and minimized batch effects. The crucial step in analyzing multiplexed data is demultiplexing, which assigns cells to individual samples. Accurate demultiplexing is essential to avoid misleading characterization.
