BACKGROUND: Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) is involved in the remodeling process of inflammatory airway diseases and is correlated with the severity of asthma. We hypothesized that MMP was associated with the severity of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNPs). We also investigated the effect of allergy on the expression of MMP in the polyp.
METHODS: The expression of MMP-2 and -9 was investigated in recurrent nasal polyps of 30 patients and in nonrecurrent nasal polyps of 31 patients undergoing endoscopic sinus surgery. These expressions were then compared with those in control nasal mucosal samples obtained from 32 patients with chronic hypertrophic rhinitis. Demographic data, Lund-Mackay (LM) score, polyp grade, and allergy status were obtained for all patients. Tissue samples were assessed via immunohistochemistry.
RESULTS: MMP-2 and -9 were constantly expressed in recurrent NPs, primary NPs, and control nasal mucosa. The expression of MMP-9 was significantly enhanced in glands and MMP-2 positivity was significantly increased in surface epithelium for patients with NPs when compared with control nasal mucosa. The expression of MMP-9 and -2 was not correlated with polyp grade and LM score. Allergic status is an independent factor in the expression of MMP-2 and -9.
CONCLUSION: These results suggested up-regulation of MMP-9, and MMP-2 in gland and surface epithelium, respectively, were characteristic of NPs. Therefore, patients with allergy will exhibit greater MMP-2 and -9 positivity. However, the MMP-2 and -9 expression intensity was not correlated with the severity of CRS with nasal polyposis.
