Allergic rhinitis (AR) is tightly associated with type 2 inflammation. SFRP5 combined with WNT5A mainly inhibits chronic inflammatory response, atherosclerosis, and other metabolic disorders. However, the effect of SFRP5/WNT5A axis on recombinant human interleukin-13 (rhIL-13)-induced inflammation has not been studied. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether secreted frizzled-related protein 5 (SFRP5) could modulate the production of cytokines relevant to eosinophil infiltration and mucin secretion through blocking the activation of Wnt family 5A (WNT5A) signaling pathway. A mouse model of AR demonstrated low expression of SFRP5 and high expression of WNT5A, and indicated that the number of eosinophil and goblet cells was increased, concomitant with elevated IL-13, colony stimulating factor 2 (CSF2), chemokine ligand 11 (CCL11), Mucin 4, and Mucin 5AC levels. Furthermore, lentivirus-SFRP5 overexpression up-regulated the expression of SFRP5 but down-regulated WNT5A level, and inhibited the activation of JNK pathway via decreasing p-JNK1/2 (Thr183/Tyr185) and p-c-Jun (Ser73) protein expressions in rhIL-13-treated human nasal epithelial cells (HNEpCs). Noticeably, SFRP5 overexpression markedly reduced rhIL-13-induced inflammatory protein and mucin generation through lowered CSF2, CCL11, Mucin 4, as well as Mucin 5AC levels. Taken together, these findings confirmed the regulatory role of SFRP5/WNT5A axis in rhIL-13-mediated inflammatory response in HNEpCs.
