INTRODUCTION: Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) are a family of endopeptidases involved in extracellular matrix degradation and which could potentially explain specific histological changes in nasal polyposis. The aim of this study is to determine whether MMP-2 and 9 are involved in chronic rhinosinusitis with polyposis.
MATERIAL AND METHOD: Specimens were collected from 15 patients affected by nasal polyposis and 15 control patients (with turbinoplasty performed). Specimens were processed for determination of protein expression levels by Western-blot and for determination of their enzymatic activity by zymography for both MMPs.
RESULTS: Results showed a higher expression and activity of MMP-9 but not of MMP-2 in specimens from patients with polyposis when compared with controls.
CONCLUSIONS: These results support the involvement of MMP-9 in the tissue remodelling characteristic of this disease.
