BACKGROUND: NSAID-exacerbated respiratory disease (N-ERD) is characterized by chronic asthma, nasal polyposis and intolerance to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. We have recently described aberrant macrophage activation and lipid metabolism in N-ERD, however local drivers of nasal inflammation in N-ERD are incompletely understood. OBJECTIVE: To study how apolipoprotein E deficiency in the N-ERD nasal mucosa affects the crosstalk and inflammatory activation of macrophages and epithelial cells. METHODS: We combined transcriptional and mediator analysis of N-ERD patient samples and primary human cell culture to study ApoE in epithelial and myeloid cells. RESULTS: N-ERD nasal scrapings exhibited decreased APOE expression in comparison to healthy nasal mucosa, but APOE was inherently low in epithelial cells. Instead, myeloid cells expressed highly abundant APOE, which was reduced in monocyte-derived macrophages from N-ERD patients. siRNA-mediated knockdown of APOE in monocyte-derived macrophages resulted in increased CXCL7 expression, an inflammatory chemokine implicated in N-ERD. In addition, highly oxidized arachidonyl-phosphatidylethanolamine accumulated in APOE-knockdown macrophages and ApoE protected macrophages from ferroptotic cell death. CONCLUSION: Our results suggest a role for myeloid ApoE in regulating the crosstalk between macrophages and epithelial cells as well as ferroptosis during type 2 airway inflammation. ApoE deficiency may thus contribute to chronic type 2 inflammation in N-ERD, and its restoration could help reestablish normal epithelial barrier integrity and macrophage effector functions.
