HOW DO THE GENETIC VARIANTS OF MMP 9 AND TIMP 1 AND VITAMIN D AFFECT CHRONIC RHINOSINUSITIS WITH NASAL POLYPOSIS?
Objective: Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP) is a multifactorial disease in which the sinus and nasal mucosa are affected. We investigated the relationship between the genetic polymorphism of MMP 9 (rs17576) and TIMP 1 (rs48498) and serum levels, and we wanted to investigate the e...

| Summary: | Objective: Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP) is a multifactorial disease in which the sinus and nasal mucosa are affected. We investigated the relationship between the genetic polymorphism of MMP 9 (rs17576) and TIMP 1 (rs48498) and serum levels, and we wanted to investigate the effect of MMP 9 and TIMP 1 genotypes on Vitamin serum levels in CRSwNP with and without Aspirin-Exacerbated Respiratory Disease (AERD). Materials and Methods: This study consisted of 99 patients with CRSwNP with AERD and CRSwNP without AERD. The RT-PCR method and ELISA were used in this study. ELISA was used for MMP 9 and TIMP 1 serum levels and Vitamin D levels. Results: Serum levels of MMP 9 were markedly higher in AG genotype than GG genotype in CRSwNP with AERD. Serum levels of MMP 9 were statistically higher in carrying of A (+) allele in CRSwNP with AERD than in not carrying of A (+) allele. In addition, serum levels of Vitamin D were discovered significantly lower in TIMP 1 CT genotype in comparison to CC and TT genotypes in all of CRSwNP. Conclusion: The rising of MMP 9 serum levels may be a marker of chronic inflammation or they may be a significant factor in theresistance to diseases. This study may lead to a further understanding of disease severity in CRSwNP with AERD. |
