Key Points

This study investigates the role of IL-33 and its responsive innate lymphoid cells in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps.
Elevated gene expression analyzed via quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction.
Characterization of innate lymphoid cells using flow cytometry from inflamed sinus mucosa.
Cytokine production measured with ELISA and intracellular staining techniques.
Increased ST2 expression in inflamed mucosa of CRSwNP compared to CRSsNP.
Higher percentages of innate lymphoid cells observed in CRSwNP than in CRSsNP.
IL-33 stimulation demonstrated ST2(+) innate lymphoid cells as a consistent source of IL-13.
