To investigate the distribution and expression of aquaporin-5 (AQP-5) in nasal polyps and explore the role of AQP-5 in the formation of nasal polyps and the normal function of AQP-5 in the inferior turbinate.
AQP-5 were studied in 30 samples nasal polyps and 12 samples of inferior turbinates with immunochemistric staing.
The level of AQP-5 positive cells in the serous cells from nasal polyps were lesser than that from inferior turbinate, and the level of AQP-5 positive cells in the blood vessel endothelium from nasal polyps were more than that from inferior turbinate.
AQP-5 may play the role in both the formation of nasal polyps and the function of normal nasal mucous membrane.
研究水通道蛋白5(AQP-5)在鼻息肉中的分布及表达情况,探讨AQP-5在鼻息肉形成中的作用以及其在鼻下甲中的正常功能。
采用免疫组织化学染色法对30例鼻息肉组织标本和12例鼻下甲组织标本进行AQP-5研究。
鼻息肉浆液细胞中AQP-5阳性细胞水平低于鼻下甲,鼻息肉血管内皮中AQP-5阳性细胞水平高于鼻下甲。
AQP-5可能在鼻息肉形成及正常鼻黏膜功能中均发挥作用。
