Abstract

This study aims to explore the potential inhibition effects of staurosporine isolated from a Strepto-myces sp. SNC087 strain obtained from seawater on nasal polyps. Staurosporine possesses antimi-crobial and antihypertensive activities. This research focuses on investigating the effects of stau-rosporine on suppressing the growth and development of nasal polyps and elucidating the un-derlying mechanisms involved. The experimental design includes in vitro and ex vivo evaluations to assess the inhibition activity and therapeutic potential of staurosporine against nasal polyps. Nasal polyp-derived fibroblasts (NPDFs) were stimulated with TGF- β1 in the presence of staurosporine. The levels of -smooth muscle actin (-SMA), collagen type-I (Col-1), fibronectin, and phosphory-lated (p)-Smad 2 were investigated using western blotting. VEGF expression levels were analyzed in nasal polyp organ cultures treated with staurosporine. TGF-β1 stimulated the production of Col-1, fibronectin, and -SMA and was attenuated by staurosporine pretreatment. Furthermore, these inhibitory effects were mediated by modulation of the signaling pathway of Smad 2 in TGF-β1-induced NPDFs. Staurosporine also inhibits the production of VEGF in ex vivo NP tissues. The findings from this study will contribute to a better understanding of staurosporine’s role in nasal polyp management and provide insights into its mechanisms of action.
