Fig. 1. Increased expression of pendrin in nasal polyps of patients with CRS.
Gene expression of pendrin by real-time PCR (A) in uncinates (UT) and nasal polyps. Pendrin expression was normalized based on median expression of the house keeping gene GUS and expressed as copies/ng of total RNA. (B) Representative immunoblot of pendrin and actin in sinonasal tissues. (C) Immunoblot analysis of pendrin in sinonasal tissues. Pendrin band density was normalized to actin band density and represented as blot density. *p<0.05, **P<0.01, ***p<0.001
