PURPOSE: Nasal polyp formation is a common sequela of prolonged chronic rhinosinusitis, but the mechanism underlying this disease state is still controversial. We compared the expressions of Cl- channels/transporters in nasal polyps with those in inferior turbinates to explore whether a deficiency in Cl- transport may participate in the pathophysiology of nasal polyp formation as in patients with cystic fibrosis.
METHODS: Nasal polyps and inferior turbinates were collected from 12 chronic rhinosinusitis patients with hypertrophic rhinitis and/or nasal polyps. Expressions of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), pendrin, Na+-K+-2Cl- cotransporter 1 (NKCC1), SLC26A3, TMEM16A and anion exchanger 2 (AE2) were examined by fluorescence immunohistochemistry using Alexa Fluor 488.
RESULTS: CFTR was weakly expressed on the epithelial surface of the turbinate mucosa whereas the nasal polyps showed almost no fluorescence. Pendrin was mainly expressed on the epithelial surface in both tissues. The fluorescence was moderate in the nasal polyps and strong in the turbinate mucosa. For NKCC1, moderate fluorescence was observed throughout the entire epithelial layer of the nasal polyps, but the turbinate mucosa exhibited almost no fluorescence. On the other hand, no fluorescence for SLC26A3, TMEM16A or AE2 was seen in either tissue.
CONCLUSION: These results suggest that CFTR, pendrin and NKCC1 may participate in the pathogenesis of nasal mucosal edema and play roles in the mechanism of nasal polyp formation.
