Differential proteomic analysis of nasal polyps, chronic sinusitis, and normal nasal mucosa tissues

These differentially expressed proteins are involved in airway inflammatory reaction, immune response, oxidative stress, and metabolic reaction after exposure to irritants. In the future, several of these proteins may prove useful for exploring the pathogenesis of nasal polyps and chronic sinusitis or as objective biomarkers for quantitatively monitoring disease progression or response to therapy.
