Fig. 7. Expression of Muc5AC is increased in nasal polyps of patients with CRS and pendrin expression correlated with Muc5AC mRNA in sinonasal tissues.
Muc5AC mRNA levels were measured in sinonasal tissues using real-time PCR. The relationship between pendrin and Muc5AC was analyzed in mRNA samples by real-time PCR. Correlations were assessed by Spearman rank correlation. *p<0.05, **p<0.01.
