Elevated albumin levels, not hyaluronic acid, contribute to tissue swelling in nasal polyps and chronic sinusitis, likely due to inflammatory processes.

Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Pathology
  • Otorhinolaryngology

Background:

  • Tissue hydration in nasal polyps (NP) has an unknown cause.
  • Extracellular matrix (ECM) composition influences tissue hydration and volume.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Investigate ECM components in nasal polyps (NP).
  • Compare NP to inferior turbinate mucosa (TM) and chronic sinusitis (CS) mucosa.

Main Methods:

  • Determined dry weight, total protein, protein quality (SDS-PAGE), albumin, and hyaluronic acid levels.
  • Analyzed NP (n=20), TM (n=20), and CS (n=15) tissues.

Main Results:

  • NP showed significantly higher total protein content than TM and CS.
  • Albumin was significantly increased in NP compared to TM and CS.

  • Hyaluronic acid levels were not elevated in NP or CS.

    • Conclusions:

    • Increased albumin in NP and CS may result from inflammatory plasma exudation.
    • Hyaluronic acid does not appear to play a role in NP tissue hydration.
