Fig 1 Expression of TLRs in human nasal mucosa. Representative images from 1 healthy subject demonstrating expression of TLR3 (A), TLR4 (B), TLR7 (C), TLR9 (D), and a negative control (E), as well as β-III tubulin, in human nasal mucosa are shown. Biopsy specimens from 5 healthy subjects were stained. Green, TLRs; red, β-III tubulin; and yellow, colocalized. Scale bar = 50 μm.

Fig 2 Expression of TLR7 in human nasal mucosa. Representative images from 1 healthy subject demonstrating expression of TLR7 (green) and epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM; red; A), β-III tubulin (red; B), and SP (blue) colocalization (light blue; C). Biopsy specimens from 6 healthy subjects were stained. Scale bar = 50 μm.

Fig 4 A-C, SP production by TGNs (n = 5; Fig 4, A), MNECs (n = 4-5; Fig 4, B), and HNECs (n = 4; Fig 4, C). *P < .05, **P < .01, and ***P < .001, comparing unstimulated versus stimulated cells. Black line = mean. D and E, TLR7 (green) in TGNs (neurofilament/red), DAPI (blue), and colocalization (yellow, n = 10). Scale bar = 50 μm. F, SP production after R-837 (30 μg/mL). Values are means ± SEMs (n = 4-5). G, SP production 15 minutes after R-837 (5 μg/mL; n = 5). ***P < .001. Black line = mean.

Fig 5 Epithelial expression of TLRs after stimulation with SP. A, Unstained (black histogram), isotype (gray histogram), and NK1R (red histogram; n = 5). B-F, HNEC expression of TLR1 (Fig 5, B), TLR3 (Fig 5, C), TLR4 (Fig 5, D), TLR7 (Fig 5, E), and TLR9 (Fig 5, F) after stimulation with SP or vehicle for 30 minutes (n = 5). *P < .05 and **P < .01, comparing unstimulated versus stimulated cells. Values are means ± SEMs. Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology , e3DOI: ( /j.jaci ) Copyright © 2017 American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology Terms and Conditions

Fig 6 Epithelial expression of TLR4 after stimulation with SP. Unstimulated HNECs (A and C) and SP-stimulated HNECs (B and D; 100 nmol/L SP for 30 minutes) are shown, as representative images from 1 healthy subject demonstrating expression of TLR4 (green) and nucleus (blue; n = 5). Scale bar = 50 μm. Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology , e3DOI: ( /j.jaci ) Copyright © 2017 American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology Terms and Conditions

Fig 7 Inhibition of epithelial TLR expression after stimulation with SP. HNEC expression of TLR1 (A), TLR3 (B), TLR4 (C), TLR7 (D), and TLR9 (E) 30 minutes after SP stimulation (100 nmol/L) with or without prior incubation (3 minutes) with aprepitant (10 nmol/L; n = 5) is shown. *P < .05 and **P < .01, comparing all cells versus SP-stimulated cells. All values are means ± SEMs. Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology , e3DOI: ( /j.jaci ) Copyright © 2017 American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology Terms and Conditions
