Abstract Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a common condition associated with inflammation and tissue remodeling of the nose paranasal sinuses, frequently occurring nasal polyps allergies. Here we investigate protease profile in tissues plasma from control non-CRS patients CRS patients. Gene expression for several cytokines, proteases, antiproteases was quantified subjects polyps. Elevated S100A9, IL1A, MMP3, MMP7, MMP11, MMP25, MMP28, CTSK observed compared to tissue. Tissue protein analysis...
