Additionally, the study aims to elucidate the underlying mechanism of Sirt5 in eosinophilic inflammation metabolism and identify potential drug targets for the treatment of chronic sinusitis. The findings of this study will provide new insights and a solid theoretical basis for the development of novel therapeutic strategies for eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis (eCRS).</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Our study investigated the role of Sirt5 gene expression in both non-eCRS and eCRS. We examined the correlation between Sirt5 gene expression and disease severity as well as eosinophil infiltration. Additionally, we utilized a mouse model of eCRS to assess the impact of Sirt5 gene deletion on the disease. To further understand the underlying mechanisms, we conducted experiments at the single-cell level using bone marrow-derived eosinophils. We validated our findings through in vitro culture of eosinophils and intervention experiments.

Inhibiting Sirt5 expression can effectively alleviate the abnormal activation of eosinophils and the resulting inflammatory response in eCRS-affected nasal mucosa.

Sirt5 plays a negative regulatory role in the succinylation level of Pkm2 in eosinophils, thereby influencing metabolic remodeling and functional activation in eCRS.
