“…These findings were later confirmed in Chinese CRS subjects 29 , although these are characterized by different T effector cell profiles than their Caucasian counterparts 9 . In our study, CRSsNP subjects were confirmed to have increased TGF-β1 concentrations compared to CRSwNP subjects and controls (p<0.001, data not shown 31 .…”

“…Based on the tissue remodeling characteristics, CRS can be classified into CRS with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), which is characterized by pseudocyst formation, or without nasal polyps (CRSsNP), which consists of the excessive deposition of collagen by the nasal mucosa [3,4] (fig. 1).…”

“…Neutrophils were found to be the major sources of TGF-β2 in CRSsNP and non-eosinophilic CRSwNP [51]. Finally, no significant difference was observed between the concentrations of MMP-7 and MMP-9 in patients with CRSwNP and CRSsNP, both of them being significantly increased compared with controls [50].…”

“…But, like the Caucasian one, the occurrence of tissue damages in Chinese CRS seems to be mainly guided by TGF-β. This relative low expression level of TGF classes in Chinese CRS is suspected to decrease collagen, TIMP-1/4, and forkhead box P3 (FOXP3) expression [50]. In Chinese polyp tissue, ECP levels and neutrophil number correlated positively with the severity of edema and fibrosis, respectively.…”
